Hi there,

I have a question. I have successfully installed a Dlink DWL900AP+,
which repeates the Wireless Signal from my DWL614+ in my basement.

Now I would like to connect to server PCs via Ethernet Cables to my
repeater but I can't get a signal from the Ethernet outlet at my
DWL900AP+. Do I need a special cable or need to buy an additional
device?


Chris

Won't work. The DWL-900AP+ will not repeat anything from the ethernet
port. In fact, the ethernet port goes nowhere (other than the
internal web configuration pages) when in repeater mode.

Boxes that support WDS (wireless distribution something) will
simultaneously play repeater and access point, giving you what you
want. However, you'll also need to replace your DI-614+ as it will
not work with a WDS repeater.

The only way to make this work is to replace everything, or install
wireless card(s) in your server(s).

You will need another device. When in repeater mode it will only "repeat"
the wireless signal and not use the Ethernet socket.

Either use A 900AP OR 700AP in client mode and plug it into your network
switch/hub
