Netgear WGR614v10 repeating does not work-please help
Hello all i purchased 2 brand new netgear WGR614v10 routers specificallyso i could repeat wifi signal howevr i have been disappointed with the result router1 is connected to my broadband modem...
ok can you guys help me out understanding the following
(it will help me figuring out stuff)
1. what role does "channel" play in the wifi repeater seup
in this wifi repeater setup - why cant the base and repeatr have differnt "channels"
2. why do they recommend that we use different channels in the tutorial where the repeater is used in the wired setup ( i.e http://support.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/965)
but they ask us to use the SAME channel is the tutorial where we use the repeater in wifi setup (i.e here - http://vpncasestudy.com/download/WDS/WDS_Concept.pdf)
3. what if i assign the repeater a diff SSID from that of the base and force my notebook to connect to the new one
would the repeater still work and pass on internet?
4.
my notebook i on static settings
ip 192.162.1.14 - which is in the dhcp range of the base
gateway is set at 192.168.1.1
DNS is 202.88.130.67
i hope these setting are correct
i assume they are because i can connect wirelessly to the base with them
