Drop / Unstable

Hi guys,

I recently got a Netgear Wi-Fi booster.

Using a wireless card I managed to get access to the NetGear and configured it to receive wirelesscon1 from the wireless router I got down the first floor.

The signal was boosted and worked perfectly. But the moment my friends wanted to connect to the NetGear it dropped all connections. Right now I use only one connection, my main PC. But I got serious lag issues, and I need to restart the router every day, for it drops the signal.

Question 1: What can I do?

The other problem is, since I set wirelesscon1 to the Netgear, I can't access the Netgear no more! When I write the IP, it takes me directly to the Router!

Question 2: How do I access my Netgear again? (we got two routers, I want to set the Netgear to get wirelesscon2 but I can't get inside it)

Thanks.

    First time I logged in the Netgear I didn't use Ethernet Cable. If I'm trying now, I can only reach the main router.

    This is confusing.

    I will take the netgear down, will connect it to the router via Ethernet Cable and pull it as close as I can to the first floor.
