Using DG834N as access point (slave) from non WDS router (master)

Hi,

I have been using Netgear products for most of my internet history partly because of the user-friendliness and partly due to the versitility.

Recently my DG834N stopped working when I changed ISPs, they said that there was only one router that is compatible with their ISP settings and supplied me a new wireless router that works well with it. I used to run two DG834Ns, one in my home as a master and connected to the internet and the other in my office in my garden as a slave - connected by WDS. This way I could have my TV, Bluray etc plugged into the router in the house and also use the wifi for my laptop when indoors, and in the garden office I could have my PC and printer plugged into the router and also use the wifi for my laptop in the office.

The problem I now have is that the new router that I have been supplied is not WDS compliant, I have all the access in the house that I used to have but none in my workshop. I contacted my ISP who said that ideally I should run network cable through my garden to my office, when I told them that this is not an option, they said it should be possible to work the same system as before by using the following instructions:

If you only have one router with a wireless repeater capability then this will be used as the slave, you will need to log in to that routers internal pages and activate the repeater function and insert the wireless name/password to connect to the primary router wirelessly just like setting up any other wireless device like a laptop etc. Once this has been done they should 'just work'

I emailed my ISP asking how I "activate the repeater function and insert the wireless name/password". They said I should contact yourselves as they cannot provide support on my own equipment - only theirs.

Couls you please advise me how I might do this with my DG834N so I can get my network fully functional again?

Thanks.
