Problem with Repeater

Jul 10, 2013 0 Replies

For quite some time, I used a ZyXEL WAP3205 wireless repeater with a Westell 327W (provided by Verizon).



Recently, I switched to Comcast and bought a Netgear WNDR3700v4 and a Motorola SB6121. Everything that connects to the Netgear works fine.



However, I cannot figure out how to configure the Netgear ZyXEL so they function as repeater and base station (if that is the correct terminology).



The Z shows up in a list of APs (I'm using Wifi Analyzer on a Samsung Galaxy S3) but will not connect UNLESS I run an Ethernet cable from the Z to the Netgear!



Can anyone help?



Both devices have the same security/password, channel, and SSID.



Thanks.
