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...
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"
Use different channel
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)
People has found different channel are better
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?
Will NEVER work
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
