Checking the Wireless MAC Address of your Linksys wireless router such as WRT54G is an easy operation. However, this is very important when you need to expand the wireless signal generated by your Linksys wireless router using a Linksys wireless access point device such WAP54G.
To setup a Linksys access point as a wireless repeater, you must do two things: check the wireless MAC address of your Linksys wireless router, and setup the wireless repeater mode on the Linksys access point WAP54G.
To check the wireless MAC Address of your current Linksys wireless router read the following instructions below.
Instruction 1: Open your Linksys wireless router's web-based setup interface. To accomplish this, open a web browser such as Mozilla Firefox. Once the web browser loads, type your Linksys wireless router's local IP address in the Address bar on the top of the window, and then press Enter on your keyboard.
Instruction 2: When your Linksys wireless router's web-based setup page appears, click on Status, and then click on Wireless.
Instruction 3: Take note of your wireless MAC Address. This is your Linksys wireless router's wireless MAC address. This wireless MAC Address that you took note of can be used on a Linksys wireless access point such as WAP54G configured as wireless repeater.
Keep in mind that you can setup a Linksys wireless-G access point as an access point, wireless bridge, wireless repeater, and wireless access point client. By default, the Linksys wireless repeater mode turns a Linksys wireless-g access point device such as WAP54G into a wireless repeater that you can use to extend the range of your wireless signal produced by a Linksys wireless router or a Linksys wireless access point on your local network. In addition, a Linksys wireless access point such as WAP54G is able to work as a wireless repeater with the Linksys wireless devices such as Linksys Wireless-G Access Point WAP54G and Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G.
