Using Linksys WAP54G as Wireless Repeater

Asked by alausted in Miscellaneous Networking, Networking Hardware, Operating System Specific Networking

Tags: repeater, wap54g, linksys, wireless, using

Equipment:
WRT54G v5 firmware 1.00.2
WAP54G v3 firmware 3.04

Both equipment using same SSID (ie. myNetwork)
Both equipment using same channel (11)
Both equipment using same WEP encryption

Plug in WAP54G next to my laptop.  After a bit of time, my laptop seems to roll over to the WAP54G.
I determine this because of a much stronger signal (100%) verses what I would normally get.  In addition, I can
ping the WAP54G (192.168.1.245) and cannot ping the WRT54G (192.168.1.1)

At this point I'm not able to browse to the internet.  I'm stuck.  Based on Linksys documentation it seems I've followed the procedure.  What am I missing?

This is the procedure I followed from Linksys:

I know my way around but am not a networking genious.  Maybe I'm missing something.  If you are able to determine where I'm going wrong I'll give 250 points.  If you're able to get it working as I expect it to, I'll bump it up to 500 points.Start Free Trial
