I have connected my router Linksys HW550 via RJ45 cable to my main router which is also linksys hw550.

In the router which i have converted as repeater, i have disabled DHCP. It works sometimes. but most of the time when i try to open any website, it does to the router's setup page. I tried it from my smart phone, ipad, laptop... but it does tht same.

dont knw what setting to change in the router so it stops directing my browsing to the setup page. please help
 
Solution
You need to set them to different IP addresses, or set your second router to DHCP-assigned.

Also, make sure you have the internet connection going in to the WAN port on the router with DHCP, then a cable connecting a LAN port on one to a LAN port on the other.
