D Link and netgear working together

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

thanks for your time.


I tried to use the dlink as repeater and it is bullshit. so i tried to
use it as an ap but i dont succed in having him talk with the other AP.
It looks like both aps wont just talk together. I tried different SSIDs
and channels but nada.

I am a bit stuck and dont know what to do ??

thnks & bests

What would happen if you configured one of your APs as an AP Client? By
entering the MAC address of the other AP, would they not communicate?
I have a couple of D-Link DWL2100APs and it works for me.
