Resumen del manual
• All APs must be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all the AP LAN IP addresses are in the same network. • All LAN devices (wired and wireless PCs in Figure 4-2) must be configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the APs. Advanced Settings and Features v1.0, April 2008 RangeMax WiFi Range Extender WPN824EXT User Manual • If you are using DHCP, the Get Dynamically From ISP Gateway radio button in the Internet IP Address section of the Basic Settings screen should be selected for all AP devices in the IP Address Source portion. To set up the repeater configuration shown in Figure 4-2: 1. Configure the operating mode of AP1 (the WiFi range extender in Figure 4-2) as a wireless base station with the MAC addresses of AP2 and AP3 in the first two Repeater MAC Address fields. 2. Configure the operating mode of AP2 and AP3 as wireless repeater with the MAC address of AP1, the WiFi range extender, in the Base Station MAC Address field. 3. Configure AP2 and AP3 to have a static IP address in their Repeater IP Address fields. 4. Verify connectivity across the LANs. A computer on any wireless or wired LAN segment of the WiFi range extender should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other wireless or wired PC or server connected to any of the other APs. In the scenario shown, a WiFi range extender can also be used as one of the “child” APs. Configure the WiFi range extender’s Wireless Repeating Function settings as described for AP2 or AP3. Note: If a WiFi range extender is used as a wireless repeater AP as shown in Figure 4-2 on page 4-3, you might need to change other configuration settings. In particular, you should disable the DHCP server function on the wireless repeater APs. Advanced Settings and Features v1.0, April 2008 RangeMax WiFi Range Extender WPN824EXT User Manual NTP Client The WiFi range extender uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time and date from one of several Network Time Servers on the Internet, using the NTP Client screen. Select NTP Client under Advanced in the main menu. The NTP Client screen displays. Figure 4-3 To localize the time for your log entries, you must specify your time zone: • Enable NTP client. The NTP client is enabled by default. If you do not want the WiFi range extender to obtain the current time and date from an NTP server on the Internet, clear the Enable NTP client check box and click Apply. • Time Zone. Select your local time zone. This setting is used for the blocking schedule and for time-stamping log entries. • Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time. Select this check box if your region supports daylight savings time. The WiFi range extender automatically adjusts the time at the start and end of the daylight savings time period. Advanced Settings and Features v1.0, April 2008 RangeMax WiFi Range Extender WPN824EXT User Manual QoS Setup QoS is an advanced feature that you can use to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of others. The WiFi range extender can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on the Internet connection. To configure QoS, use the QoS Setup screen. Select QoS Setup under Advanced in the main menu. The QoS Setup screen displays: Figure 4-4 Advanced Settings and Features v1.0, April 2008 RangeMax WiFi Range Extender WPN824EXT User Manual Using WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications The WiFi range extender supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS is a feature that provides prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on four access categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the benefits of WMM QoS, WMM must be enabled for both the WiFi range extender and the client running the application. Legacy applications that do not support WMM, and applications that do not require QoS, are assigned to the best-effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video. WMM QoS is enabled by default. You can disable it in the QoS Setup screen, shown in Figure 4-4 on page 4-6, by clearing the Enable WMM checkbox and clicking Apply. Configuring QoS for Internet Access You can give prioritized Internet access to: • Traffic for specific applications • Traffic for specific online games • Traffic on individual Ethernet LAN ports of the router • Traffic from a specific device by MAC address. To specify prioritization of traffic, you must create a policy for the type of traffic and add the policy to the QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen. For convenience, the QoS Policy table lists many common applications and online games that can benefit from QoS handling. QoS for Applications and Online Gaming To create a QoS policy for applications and online games: 1. Select QoS Setup under Advanced in the main menu. The QoS Setup screen displays, shown in Figure 4-4 on page 4-6. Advanced Settings an...
