I am trying to use a DWLG800AP as a repeater.
The config goes fine, set to repeater mode, finds the AP etc.

However when I set it up, the clients can see it and the signal is great but
they cant get an IP from the AP.

I am using a DI-624 AP and DWLG120 clients.

I would love any tips from amyone else using a G800AP

If you watch the traffic counters, do you see transmit packets but no
receive packets? That's the problem I'm getting with my G800APs...

[There's a promised firmware upgrade due the end of this month, but I
can't get anyone to admit it, as D-Link's tech support has a policy of
being as unhelpful as possible, and referring all "difficult"
questions to their phone support.]

If you're seeing transmitted packets, but not received packets, then you
haven't associated with the AP. Turn off WEP and WPA. Reboot everything.

Or the AP is wedged due to firmware bugs. Repeatable (pardon the pun)
DWL-G800AP firmware bugs.

None of them are on. Yes, rebooting the AP works, but that's hardly
an answer.
