DG834GT and WN604 access point - set up as repeater?
Hi all, I suspect the answer is 'No', but maybe someone has had success;
I'm using a Netgear DG834GT adsl router (it's from Sky Broadband), and have bought a Netgear N150 (WN604) Wireless access point in order to provide a signal at the back of my house. Connection to the WN604 is via homeplug network.
Can I set up the WN604 so that is uses the same SSID as my router and be an extension of my DG834GT, or is my only option to set it up as a seperate wifi connection?
Hope that someone can confirm this one way or another,
cheers

I suspect that your assessment is correct. If you used the same SSID, how would roaming equipment know which to talk to?
The advice is that even if you have one router with two wireless bands you should use two SSIDs, one for each band.
I have separate SSIDs for loads of network bits but I use the same password. (We're rural. so no chance of leeches latching on to the network.)
