Hi guys,

I just received my brand new AP and trying to configure it.
I just connected my AP to a free LAN port of my Fritzbox 6360 through POE with the delivered POE injector.
Now I correctly connected to the APs web interface and I'm wondering about the wireless operating mode.

My goal is to extend my WLAN with a 15m patch cable from the fritz box to my AP. In normal repeater mode, the AP picks up the WLAN signal and amplifies it. Now I don't like to connect the AP via WIFI to the fritzbox but via patch cable.

The AP should not generate a new WLAN with new SSID and new password - it should use the same data like the fritzbox to build a large WLAN with one SSID and one passwort.

Which operating mode do I need?

Thank you for your help!

BG
Tom

Tom, try to configure WA901ND in access point mode. Its SSID and password can be changed to be the same as the main router. Remember to use different channel for main router and WA901ND.
