Solution
Disadvantage is the end devices decide what wireless source to connect to. They are really stupid some time and stay connected to a weak signal when there is a better one available. What does work many times though is to drop the wireless connection and let it reconnect. It will most times connect to the closer one. If you really want to control where it connects to you need different SSID. Even if you use different SSID it is still the same network, in effect you have just give the same network multiple names but it really is the same.

You can not run the devices you have as repeaters they do not have the feature. Be careful with definitions. Repeater means wireless signal in and out. A AP is a device that will convert...
Not sure what dlink things you have the number may be wrong but a AP is designed to be connected with a ethernet cable. You do not need to do anything on your router. You just plug the AP into one of the lan ports. If the dlink things have more than one mode set them to run as only a AP and not a repeater.

i dont whant two wireless network - one from DLINK and the secound from DRAYTEK
 
Those are simple AP so they should work fine. You will only have 1 network and all the devices should be able to communicate.

On the wireless you can set all the devices to the same SSID and same password if you like. There are some disadvantages to doing that but it mostly depends what you like better.

A AP is a device that will convert ethernet to wireless. It is best called a bridge but to avoid confusion with other forms of bridges it is called a AP.
