Considerations with CPE-AP


The CPE-AP has some limitations The usage of a single frequency repeater halves the capacity of the base station
It is strongly recommended not to allow wireless LAN traffic in the end users side
Will eat up the base station capacity By default, the CPE-AP blocks wireless LAN traffic on the LAN side.
