Linksys TL-WA5210G access point to BT router,

We have a BT "superhub 3" router with an adsl connection, connected to this is a Linksys AP which works fine

i have also purchased a Linksys TL-WA5210G external access point, the configurations i have done so far is

under basic settings > quick setup -

AP
SSIS - matches that of the router
Channel - as above
Mode - 54Mbps

Wireless menu - Access Point (with enable SSID broadcast ticked)

Security - matches that of the wifi security of router (WEP - doesnt need to be secure)

from my phone i can detect the AP an try to connect, this fails on obtaining an IP.

DHCP is disabled on the AP, but enabled on the router

anyone?

On the DHCP Server settings, if I am correct, you should have:-

Enable
Disable
DHCP Relay

If this is the case, choose the DHCP Relay option.

Disable/ enable

In which case, might you be better off configuring it as an AP repeater?
