WNDR3400 v2 providing incorrect IP addresses via repeater
This setup is for my office, I have 3 WNDR3400v2's they are used nothing more than for Wireless, my main router or command station is in my server room and i have 2 repeaters on each side of the build...
Ask yourself these questions ...
1 - Where is the DHCP server that it is issuing the 192.168.x.x addresses?
2 - How are the wireless clients communicating with it?
The answers to those questions will lead you to the solution.
If you feel the WNDR3400s are issuing the addresses, which they shouldn't be, if you have configured them correctly, then try changing the DHCP range on them, see if the "incorrect" addresses follow suit.
FWIW - I'm a great believer in using equipment designed for the task at hand - and whilst a wireless router can be used as an access point, it is not designed for that, a dedicated wireless access points would have had a feature set more suited to your needs, and quite likely been less problematic.
