UTT AC750W router supports multiple operation modes: AP mode and three WDS modes including Repeater mode, Bridge mode, and Lazy mode. The Repeater mode allows AC750W to act as a wireless repeater to extend the range of wireless network.

 

As shown in the following figure, use one AC750W (hereinafter referred to as AC750W-1) to connect to the Internet and use a second AC750W (hereinafter referred to as AC750W-2) in order to extend the range of wireless network. Configure AC750W-1 to operate in repeater Mode, and configure AC750W-2 to act as a Repeater for AC750W-1.

a) AC750W-1 and AC750W-2 must be in the same subnet. In other words, their LAN IP addresses must be in the same subnet.

b) SSID, Channel, Wireless Mode and other security parameters must be identical on 750W-1 and 750W-2.

c) Enter 750W-1’s wireless MAC address in the first AP MAC Address text box on 750W-2.

d) If there is another AC750W (AC750W-3), please set the same configuration with 750W-2 except the LAN IP address. The LAN IP address needs to be changed to 192.168.1.3.
