In trying to increase the signal strength to a distant machine on our wireless network, we got another WG602 and have it set in repeater mode. It's plugged into nothing put a power outlet. The original access point is a mark 1, whereas the repeater is a mark 3 (WG602v3):
Rest of wired network | == Modem -- Router -- Switch -- WG602 )))
...
((( WG602v3 ))) ((( Remote machine
It doesn't work!
Both access points have been set up properly: they are on the same channel, frequency, SSID, WEP settings, MAC access, etc... The v3 picks up the access point and seems to set its own IP address (via DHCP, I assume) appropriately. You can access the v3 from the remote machine, but not from the main network. Vice versa, you can access the access point from the main network, but not the remote machine. The whole point of the exercise was to boost the signal to the remote machine, making its connection to the Internet a little less tempremental.
We also tried putting the v3 in bridge mode and plugging it directly into the remote machine's NIC... Same result.
Can anyone help? Please don't tell me a v1 and a v3 are incompatible!
Thanks :) Christopher Harrison
