Wireless repeater

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

I have set up a wireless network with D-link equipment. Dl-624 router, G650 pcmcia, G800AP repeater, and two G520 NIC. The router and repeater are configured and when the router is on by itself all is well the G650 picks up and runs w/o problem. The two PCI NIC's are in the other end of the house and do not receive a sufficient signal to connect, thus the repeater. The problem: when I turn on the repeater the PC's see the SSID but cycle between the two MAC addresses (the router and the repeater) and the router is kicked off-line. The d-link t/s connot seem to help and the d-link web site for the G800AP says that this is a problem with XP zero config not being able to recognize two signals with the same SSID (have to have same to repeat) and recommend a "third party utility". D-link t/s doesn't have any rec and can't help. Anyone with any suggestions? I have tried w/o wep/wap.

Thanks in advance

Hi.

Switch Off WZC, and if you need to configure use the D-Link Utility.

WZC manages connectivity based on the network profile keyed off the SSID. If
the devices are all using the same network SSID, the actual selection being
made is performed by the driver. For example, in my home I have coverage via
two APs on different channels using the same SSID. My h/w driver is
responsible for determining the crossover point.

Thanks for the responses:

I have tried configuring with WZC stopped and have no problem if only the router is turned on. When I turn on the repeater I still cannot connect. I can still see the router but no joy on connecting through to the router and the router still gets kicked off-line.

I have the latest firmware for both the router (2.42) and the repeater (1.02).

what channels(s) are you using on the two devices?
