Repeater function Hi there.. I have SMC ADSL Router 7904 and WEBT-G AP which is working as a repeater. My intention is to extend the WLAN signal from 7904. The router and the WEBT have the same SSID and the channel. I turned within the router the WPA encryption but chosen no enc within the WEBT. I have also chosen in the router the WEBT to extend the signal. The prob is I can not extend the signal resp the signal is not been extended. Can you give me your opinion(s) on that? Tx Korg

    so, you are suggesting me to switch to AP mode. is that correct? but i need to be able to extend the network without connecting the router and WEBT with the cable... everything must be done wireless

    Hi.

    thanks for your help ... but I have called the SMC hot line and they told me what to do. There was again an issue, that my customer wanted to have (just for few weeks) open network with no encryption which I did and its working. Do you think that I should anyhow put an encryption on it?

    ok. my next question would be (I think its better to ask SMC and not to put the question here) why only WEP???

SMC - A wonderful choice...

ADSL ROUTER
============
1. Update firmware of your WEBT-G
2. Make note of SSID and channel of your ADSL Router
3. Change encryption of router to WEP and set the WEP key.

WEBT-G
======
1. Change to repeater mode (operating mode)
2. Change SSID and Channel to match SSID and Channel of ADSL Router
3. under Wireless Settings, Channel and SSID, check if wireless mode is 11b/g mixed mode
4. under wireless Settings, WDS, click on Scan - you will see a list of wireless devices (or just one device - your ADSL router), select 'Enable WDS' option here
5. Under Security option, Select WEP and set the WEP key (the key should be same as the WEP key in your ADSL Router)

This should do it... Hope it works - good luck.

    Its always best to put encryption - in case you plan to put encryption later on, remember that Repeater mode supports only WEP - so set the same WEP Key on both the router and repeater.

    Good luck
