Wifi repeater issuing IP address to hard wired systems
Hello I have a startech wfrepeat300n wifi repeater in one part of the building to extend the wifi witch is hard wired from a belkin router my goal was to keep the wifi extender users away from the hardwired network users by having the extender using a subnet of 192.168.10.x and the belkin router downstairs to have subnet of 192.168.1.x now the problem I am having is some times the computers down stairs that are hard wired not using wifi are picking up ip address of 192.168.10.x and no internet so I fought with that for a bit, then just to get things working I changed the wifi extender to use the 192.168.1.x subnet with pool of 107-200 and the belkin router to use a pool from 1 - 100 now I am still getting computers hard wired not getting internet, I don't know what ip addresses the hard wired systems are picking up but I just had them remove the cable from the wifi extender and everyone hardwired connected .....What am I doing wrong ? I didn't think the wifi extenders broadcast back threw the cable to the switch to the hard wired pc's connected to it, I thought the extender would only broadcast to the wifi connections that are attach to it????

you have 2 dhcp servers competing with each other.
My understanding is that you intend to have two subnets, each with their own DHCP server. If set up properly, there should be no competition .. but you have reported that there is such unwanted overlap.
We might be able to help better if you were clear about your subnet intentions AND the flow of internet traffic related thereto.
