I have a D-Link G604T ADSL wireless router, which currently servers 3
indoor PCs: 1 Ethernet (XP Prof SP2), 2 wireless (1 XP Prof SP2, 1 2000 Prof
SP4). One of the 2 wireless PCs (the XP Prof SP2) only gets poor through
wall, furniture reception. The Router is at 10.0.0.1 and provides DHCP for
the clients from 10.0.0.2 up. I have purchased a D-Link DWL 2100AP access
point with the idea, in repeater mode, to extend the G604T range. I have
setup the 2100AP in repeater mode, with core AP as the MAC address of the
G604T. I have set the IP of the 2100T as a static 10.0.0.101. In other
aspects I have put in the same settings as the G604T: Channel #, WEP
encryption with same key. However, I have left the DHCP server in the 2100AP
off. I have placed the 2100AP midway between the G604T and the distant PC.
However, although the distant PC preferentially connects to the 2100AP, with
a strong signal, it fails to pick up an IP from the G604T, takes an IP in a
different sub-net, and thus fails to pick up internet or other network
aspects. It appears as if the 2100AP is not talking to the G604T. What am I
doing wrong?
