Plug-and-play wireless network extension station and method of automatic configuration thereof

A plug-and-play wireless network extension station, comprising:

• a data processing unit, for processing signals among modules of the wireless network extension station;
• a station wireless network module, electrically connected with the data processing unit, for providing a wireless network access service;
• a station power-line network bridging module, electrically connected with the data processing unit, wherein the wireless network extension station uses the station power-line network bridging module to link an electric socket for conducting data transmission using a power-line communication technology;
• a station exploring communication module, electrically connected with the data processing unit, for exploring a network address of an in-progress wireless Ethernet extension controller by broadcasting packets over the power-line communication technology automatically
• wherein, after initializing the wireless network extension station, the wireless network extension station automatically explores the network address of the wireless Ethernet extension controller and establishes a connection to the wireless Ethernet extension controller, and the wireless Ethernet extension controller transmits a wireless network configuration to the wireless network extension station and accomplishes the connection after automatically performing the wireless network configuration.
