Dave, I just got mine working. I am using a WRT54G router and the
WRE54G. Turns out I had to DOWNGRADE the firmware to 2.02.2. Anything
higher and as of today...it will NOT work. I spent days working on
debugging this.
I no have WEB working with the router and blue lights and everybody is
happy. Major Linksys flaw in router firmware...and their knowledgebase
article on this topic is incorrect as well. I emailed them. They need
to fix the firmware and in the interim, update the knowledgebase.
Try reseting the repeater using the button for 30 seconds, install new
firmware on the router (downlevel) and I bet everything will work even
with WEP.
