5. Configure the username and password that the repeater uses when it
performs LEAP authentication. This username and password must match
the username and password that you set up for the repeater on the
authentication server.

6. (Optional) Designate the SSID as the SSID that other access points and
workgroup bridges use to associate to this access point. If you don’t
designate an SSID as the infrastructure SSID, infrastructure devices can
associate to the access point by using any SSID. If you designate an SSID as
the infrastructure SSID, infrastructure devices must associate to the access
point by using that SSID unless you also enter the optional keyword.

Setting Up a Repeater as a
WPA Client WPA key management uses a combination of encryption methods to protect
communication between client devices and the access point. You can set up a
repeater access point to authenticate to your network like other WPA-enabled
client devices.
Beginning in Privileged Exec mode, follow these steps to set up the repeater as a
WPA client:
1. Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
2. Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface.
– The 2.4 GHz radio and the 2.4 GHz 802.11n radio is 0.
– The 5 GHz radio and the 5 GHz 802.11n radio is 1.

3. Create an SSID and enter SSID configuration mode for the new SSID.
The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters, but do not
include spaces. SSIDs are case-sensitive.
