How do I set my DWL-2100AP to repeater mode?

You will need the MAC address of the device you want to repeat. If you are repeating a wireless router, then you must use the LAN or Ethernet MAC address, not the wireless address.

Step 1 Connect the DWL-2100AP to your PC using an Ethernet cable. You cannot configure the DWL-2100AP wirelessly when in repeater mode.

Step 2 Your computer will need to be in the same IP address range as the DWL-2100AP for configuration. The default IP address is 192.168.0.50.

Step 3 Open a web browser and enter in the IP address of the access point (192.168.0.50). The username is admin (all lower case) and the password is blank (nothing).

Step 4 Click on Advanced at the top and then click Mode on the left side. At the bottom, click the AP Repeater button. Enter the MAC address of the device you want to repeat (IE 50:23:AB:D4:56:E1).



Step 5 Click Apply to save your settings.

Once the DWL-2100AP is set to repeater mode, it becomes a transparent device and will no longer be able to be configured from a wireless connection. You must use a computer that is wired into the network or directly to the DWL-2100AP.
