i as well was wondering if the DG834T could be used as a repeater.. i just purchased a new DG834N and am using that as the modem as well as primary router and would like to set up the DG834T as a repeater.. i have followed all the steps people have said to follow

doesnt seem to work.. ive searched the options and took off the WPA password as NETGEAR says it won't work with that enable..
