HELP, please. Repeater not working

[thekylesouza]

I feel like killing myself (right now I am actually crying), i just spent over thirty minutes describing my problem and when I hit "submit" the next page couldn't load and when I clicked back this was all erased. Please be as detailed and specific as possible with me. This was all worded better before, but I have to be up again in a few hours and need to get at least a little sleep. The base is plugged into a different router/modem device.

I have a base and a repeater I am trying to setup.

Base details:

You can not use 300Mbps on repeat.

WEP encryption must be used so 54Mbps is need it. Alternatvie it purchase
Wn2000rpt/wn3000rpt extender

Thank you for your help.

It won't work with no security?

I changed the settings to be upto 54Mbs and add a WEP key. It is still not working, any other ideas?

[thekylesouza]

on the computer I have plugged into the repeater it is saying that the "DNS server is not responding".

Things plugged into the base work fine.

The base can see the computer connected to the repeater though:

3 192.168.2.101 TB-KSOUZA-D 00:25:64:05:07:9e

shows up in the list of attached devices.

but the computer does not get any some of internet connection.

I'm an idiot.

I had setup a IP reservation on the base. and used the wrong name for the device (manually entered). once I removed that and used the proper name it is now working. I'm sure the WEP issue also was a part of it, since previously the base did not see the desktop.

thank you for your assistance.
