Dear all,

As my 500g technically is based in the cellar my intention is to put the 330 onto the wall in the ground floow to extend the wireless network to the ground and 1st floor. Now, since two full nights I am trying to get a WL330 (the pocket AP) to act as a repeater for my WL500g based WLAN.


I have
- put both in hybrid mode
- published the 330' MAC adresses to the 500g
- configured the 330 in ethernet mode (MAC adr of 500g in access list, same SSID & channel as set up in the 500g, WPA); unplugged it and resettes the 330 to get
- and upgraded the firmeware 330 to 2.04 and 500g to 1.8.04 off course

Now, am a litte confused as I cannto verfy if the 330 really logs itself onto the wireless net.
Am I wrong in assuming that the AP needs it's own IP from the router? I cannot see a DHCP lease in the router status ....
I cannot see thet the signal increases in the close area to the AP ...


Has anyone here expirience in extending the net this way ... an idea what goes wrong ... or a hint what I have forgotten and thus not set jet ... or anything similar

Thanks for your thoughts ...
