PLANET WNAP-1120 - Manual (Page 22)

3.2.6 Universal Repeater Mode
This mode allows you to extend the range of your wireless network. When the AP is configured
to repeater mode, it will repeat the wireless signal from wireless client to access point. Thus,
the wireless connection distance can be extended. However, the performance will become
half of normal performance when client connect to a Repeater. Besides, when the
WNAP-1120 is configured to repeater mode, you can only manage the AP through LAN
interface and the PC(s) connected to its LAN port cannot communicate with other wireless
clients.
