can anyone help me with this? im having no luck but have read it can be done (unfortunately where I read it the person left no instructions)
HERE quote
"It appears that it is NOT possible to WDS repeat with a DG834GT, they can only be used as an access point client (to connect to the wireless network and pipe the traffic to its ethernet only.. example, connecting an xbox etc."my Netgear 834N is main internet connected router, my Netgear DG834GT is the bridge/repeater (both on DGteam firmware) - I manage to get the wifi linked into one big network by putting both routers into repeating mode, turning off dhcp on the 834GT and assigning it a different local IP and matching up the wifi settings, but there is no broadband on the LAN port of the 834GT??!!
what about the other modes? what are they for? how do they work?
I want the 834N to broadcast broadband over wi-fi to the 834GT which then feeds a PC by LAN with the broadband
Wireless Point-to-Point Bridge
In this mode, the router will communicate ONLY with another Bridge-mode Wireless Station, and wireless client association is disabled. You must enter the MAC address (physical address) of the other Bridge-mode Wireless Station in the field provided. . The Internet-connected wireless Access Point (AP) should supply DHCP addresses, so DHCP should be disabled on the AP not connected to the Internet. WEP can (and should) be used to protect this communication.
Wireless Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge
Select this only if this router is the "Master" for a group of Bridge-mode Wireless Stations. The other Bridge-mode Wireless Stations must be set to Point-to-Point Bridge mode, using this router's MAC address. Wireless client association is disabled. The Master should supply DHCP addresses so DHCP should be disabled on the other APs. WEP can (and should) be used to protect this traffic.
Repeater with Wireless Client Association < this was one i set both routers too
If selected, this AP will operate as a Repeater only, and send all traffic to the remote AP. Wireless client association is enabled. If selected, you must enter the MAC address (physical address) of the remote AP.
EDIT: im pulling my hair out with this
so freakin annoying - i now can not access the 834GT at all, I need to factory reset it...anyone? I changed the LAN TCP/IP back to normal to return it back to normal state and its not working , even when i force IP address on the LAN adapter
