range expander

I have recently bought a WRE54g wireless range expander. i'm setting up the expander, but every time i do it it always says at the end of the setup that it can not associate the AP in repeater mode. how do i disable this mode? My router is a d-link di-634m

 

Hi welcome to WindowsBBS

On your router what type of security are you running is it WPA or WEP?

What is the IP address of your dlink router?

What version of the Linksys WRE54G have your brought (V1 or V2)?

I changed the linksys expander ip to match the d-link router ip 192.168.0.1, did not do anything

 

Hi you would not change the Linksys Range Extender to the exact same IP as your router.

It needs to be on the same subnet.

Change it to 192.168.0.240

Also in my previous post I asked you what version of the Linksys Range Extender you have is it version 1 or version 2.

Also what type of wireless security are you using on your D-Link router e.g WEP or WPA?

Thanks, I'm using wep security, whats the difference in the virsion,cause i'm not sure, I'm at work now don't access to it

 

Well the version 1 can only work with WEP security but that is inconsequential as you are using WEP.

Unfortunately if you don't have a Linksys Router, setup of this unit is a littled involved.

You definately need to check the Linksys website and upgrade the firmware of unit to the latest available on there website otherwise this can cause issues.

ok thanks for your help

 

No problems once you have done this if you still have no joy pop back there are some other things we can go over to troubleshoot the problem further.
