    Page 44 of the manual walks you through it. Page 42-43 has requirements.

    I probably wouldn't do it though. Reason why is the jnr1010 is a very base model device and to use as a repeater means using WEP security or no security. WEP isn't even slightly secure. Plus it limits you to 54mbps link speed (not throughput).
