So, now that I was “in” the DWL-800AP+ it was time to see if I could set it up as a repeater. I visited the “wireless” tab of the web based configuration and chose Repeater mode instead of AP mode and saw that I would need the Mac address of the access point that I wanted to “repeat” signal from. In this case it’s the old Linksys WAP11 v. 1.1 So, I opened up a console and (as root) did an arpping 192.168.0.250 (the ip address of my Linksys AP). Got the reply back and typed it in.
