How to use TP-Link TL-WA500G in Repeater Mode with TP-Link TD-W8970?

[zezame]

Hi guys, I am rookie in networking, dont know anything about it. I've "TP-LINK 54M Wireless Access Point TL-WA500G" and "TP-LINK TD-W8970 300Mbps Wireless N Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router".

I'm trying to use TL-WA500G into Repeater mode with TD-W8970

but its not working, after going into Repeater mode, in "Security Settings" the "WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK" option is not enbaling.

Any idea how to make to make this work?

Regards,

According to the TP-Link support page, only WEP is supported in Repeater mode unfortunately.
