Figure 1.4 - Extended Infrastructure Using Repeaters
An Aironet Access Point can be configured as a stand-
alone repeater to extend the range of your infrastructure, or
to overcome an RF blocking obstacle. The repeater for-
wards traffic between the Aironet 4000 Series Wireless LAN
Adapter equipped workstations and devices and the wired
LAN by sending packets to either another repeater or to
another Aironet Access Point attached to the wired LAN.
The data is sent through whichever route provides the
greatest performance for the client. Multiple repeater hops
can be supported in the path to the wired LAN.
