Hello, I have setup 2 Netgear routers in a home environment. one as the main router the other as the repeater.
the models are slightly different but the same manufacturer. They both share the same SSID and channel as well as wep encryption. I found that repeaters only work with wep at this time. I randomly get dropped off the network on the wireless notebook with a DNS error. if I shut off the repeater I have no problems.
The repeater is set just as a repeater. Any clues out there, I really don't want to have to call Netgear (India).
Thanks,
Marty
Also, I recommend setting up one of the wireless routers with Channel 1,6, or 11 and then the "repeater" router with a different number of 1, 6, or 11. It will give better coverage. (i.e. channel 1 for main router, channel 11 for "repeater" router.
Hope this helps.
