How to make belkin router work as relay (bridge?)

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I have a two belkin routers that I want to cover a large area. I can put
the 1 extra router on the end of the coverage of the first and set it to be
an AP in the set up menu. But it doesn't seem to extend the singnal from the
1st router.

Has anyone done this before? I set the ssid to the same on both routers and
it doesn't seem to work still.

Can the router be configured to be a repeater?

Does Belkin PS4987-A sound familiar? I have one of these in a box
on the shelf. Piece of junk in my never humble opinion. I was
getting constant hangs and timeouts on the wired part of the router.
No updates or fixes available. I never got to the wireless part to do
any testing. Anyway, it will NOT do WDS (wireless distribution
something) store and forward repeater service.
