How to set up a wireless repeater?

Hi.

I have an Edimax EW-7209APg that I want to run as a repeater.

It has as default the IP 192.168.2.1

I connected it directly to a computer, and by aid of ncpa.cpl.
I named the IP of this computer to 192.168.2.2

Then I changed the IP to 192.168.1.10, as the router has IP 192.168.1.1

I used ncpa.cpl again, and gave the computer the IP 192.168.1.2

But now I cannot connect to the Edimax with 192.168.10

Should the IP of the computer be an IP after 192.168.1.10 for instance .11 ?

Is this Edimax router the same as the primary router? When setting up a second router as a repeater, generally there is some sort of 3rd party software. Have a look at this, I like Linksys routers but it's the same for all.

Turn your wifi router into a repeater

Even better link.

No. I have a Zyxel router as the primary one.

It's also wireless.

Beside the Edimax I also have a Linksys WRT54GL.
Think you would prefer this one.

Before it has worked as my wireless access point.
You know the trick with connecting from a LAN connector on the main router,
and connect the other end on the Liniksys to one of it's LAN connectors.

thats some good info bass
