2nd 2820 as wireless repeater was created by weehappypixie

Hi,

I am in the process of installing a 2020vn into my MD's house however due to the shear size of the place I will need to extend the wireless. Is it possible to use a 2nd 2820n as a wireless repeater and is it easy to setup.

Cheers,

John

HI John

I am just in the process of setting up a similar thing. It's quite easy especially as you are using two Draytek routers.

Just ensure you know the wireless MAC addresses of both units and that they use the same SSID, Channel number and encryption.

This explains it a lot better than I can http://draytek.com/user/SupportAppnotesDetail.php?ID=117

Hope it helps
