I want to set the n600 router as a wired repeater, but there's no option to disable dhcp, only as an Access Point.

For this type of setting, I suggest that you cascade the Belkin router to your existing network, you can use either the LAN to WAN, or LAN to LAN method. This will allow you to use the Belkin router as a wired repeater. Here's a link on how: http://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=109396

You need to set it up as a repeater fpor your existing router, which is a feature of the unit that is not even mentioned on the box. Then put it midway to the point at which you want to extend the signal.

It doesn't have a DHCP server (nor does it make sense for it to have on since it is intended to be assigned one by your DHCP server, typically your router). That said you could assign a static IP to the server and your PC, you won't need a router for that configuration (that is how I used to configure my network before home routers became cheap and ubitquitous).

I use the same password as my existing router, I don't know if you can use a separate password for a repeater

Hi,The Linksys E2000 router can be configured to be cascaded to an existing router setup. It can be set as an Access Point to further extend the wireless coverage of the network as well as provide additional ports to accommodate more wired connections. It also has the option to disable the DHCP server function so that it does not produce/propagate IP addresses to local clients.Thanks.Cisco-Linksys Supporthttp://homesupport.cisco.com

Yes, there is the option in the router console to set it up as a wireless repeater, though I don't have personal experience with using it in that capacity.

yes you can configure it as a repeater or a bridge so that it will give you a wireless signal of the same network or you can use it in router mode and you can share the internet and set uo a new network

If you wish you can re-enable the security. First set it on the extender and then on the router.I found that the Hawking Technology extender, also sold by Amazon, is easier to set up and is more stable than the Linksys WRE54G. I bought it for my second home this summer and it works so good I am replacing the Linksys unit at my first home.

I would assume so. This device is essentially acting like a switch on the network. Once its connected, anything you plug into it should pull an address from the DHCP service. Although if they're already accessible wirelessly, why buy this?

It's browser based. If you are connected to the router, you should be able to configure it.

You can use this router as a wireless access point. I have one of these routers connected to my main router in wireless repeater mode to get stronger signal in another part of my house. I also have three computers connected to the same wireless repeater via Ethernet so that I do not have to have wireless adapters for each of them to connect to my wireless network.

Yes, but if you're existing router is also a wireless router you should disable that function in the existing router's settings.

I had the same question, and so far from exeriments the answer seems to be no. Specifically if you set it up as a wireless client, it will act as a hub rebroadcasting wireless (on a new SSID) to other wireless clients, but it doesn't allow access from a 'wired client' connected to the ethernet socket.. (Which is a shame). Wonder if this might be fixable with a firmware upgrade? Would make the box even more useful...

Hello! Yes they will work with a dhcp router. You only need to run the software to adapt the points and configure them. After that, you can shut it down.

Simply use the web interface to configure. Better yet, this router can be upgraded (via the web interface!!) to dd-wrt firmware which I highly recommend. Before, I had numerous issues causing me to have to reboot the router. Now it runs for months at a time with no attention required. See this link: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/D-Link_DIR-632

Yes, it's actually pretty easy with one caveat: when you change the IP or mask on the LAN settings tab for the router, you need to be sure everything else is where it needs to be. For all the other settings tabs, you can click Save and it'll tell you that you need to reboot to apply settings. But change the IP or mask on the LAN settings tab and you'll be forced to reboot. Also, if you're just setting this up like I did as the wireless component of an existing wired network (I have a D-link handling primary router duties and am using this for the wireless functionality alone), you'll want to just ignore the WAN setup (and the WAN port on the back). Just plug into one of the 4 main LAN ports and connect that to your existing router, disable DHCP and set the IP address under the LAN settings for the router with the appropriate mask. Once you're forced to reboot the device, you'll just connect via your browser to that IP address you set. In my setup I picked an IP and set it up as a reserved IP for that device in my existing router to avoid conflicts (say after a power outage). After that you can set up anything else (wireless, etc.) unless you already did that before the reboot.
