If you use WEP, all APs in the system must use the same WEPkey. If you use WPA-PSK, you must create the same security profile (withthe same SSID) on both master and slaves, and configure both masterand slaves to use WPA-PSK.Wireless Client/RepeaterThe Access Point can also function either as a client or repeater.
