So I want to use my Netgear router (WNR2000v3) as a wireless repeater but I don't really know how to. It has a Wireless Repeating Function in the admin settings but I'm not sure how to go about it. The main router I'm using is a Cisco Linksys E1000 router, which is upstairs. I want to use the Netgear router as a repeater for downstairs. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay so I went to the Netgear WNR2000v3's admin settings and enabled the wireless repeating function and all that. Now what do I do with the Cisco router?

So I would go where exactly for my main router?

If you don't know already, I would look at the router manual. It will be in the configuration pages of the router, which should be well detailed. It is a straightforward setting -- look for setting LAN static addresses.

Thank you for the responses so far. Now I don't actually have to physically connect the repeater to the main router with an ethernet cable right? I plan on keeping the repeater downstairs with the main router upstairs.

Sorry but last question, is it possible to connect my desktop to the repeater with a Cat5e ethernet cable? Or is a repeater only for wirless?
