repeat

hello there, i am trying to link my 2 routers/Access points so that the one can pick the other and extend the range.
can some one help me out ?
i have a sagem 2504 sky modem/router/AP and a netgear dg834 modem/router/AP , i am limited to using the sagem as the modem ( and therefor the 'master' AP). the netgear can be set to WDS so i can tell it to refer all traffic to the sagem AP - but any machine connected to the netgear (the extending AP) cant connect to the internet or even ping the sagem router. i set it all to 192.168.1.0/24 network - the sagem(modem) AP acts as dhcp from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.200 and the netgear acts as a dhcp server from 192.168.1.201 to 192.168.1.253 . netgear is 192.168.1.254 and sagem is 192.168.1.1 ... the main point(i think) is that i cant find any settings for WDS(wireless distobution service ) on the sagem AP. any idea on how i can get it to work ?

Re: repeat

No, the DG doe snot have the feature of acting as a wireless repeater, you need to buy a posh router for that.
