linksys range extender WRE54G problems!

I cannot get a linksys range extender WRE54G connected, to see a
wireless network,with a linksys WRT54G wireless router v.2.1

I see nothing on support site to auto install it from web?!

on set up wizard, it cannot find the wireless network,but both laptops
are connected to the web!!

- I followed directions-to disable WEP

-one of the laptops cannot even connect with it's browser to configure
it (192.168.1.240)

-the other laptop can partially but freezes,but still cannot find the
right networking

-light on the range extender
flashes red, even after re set,turn off 30 secs, etc

I'm stumped! HELP!!

Try this guide at Tom's Networking:

I have one of these units and gave up on it.

toms networking has a bad review, too bad I didnt read it before I
bought it, so did you just buy larger antennas to extend your router
range?

I moved up to a WRT54GX and WPC54GX and my range and throughput went through
the roof. I have nearly perfect signal throughout the house and garage now.
The "X" series is quite expensive though.

Instead of paying $100 for each Linksys wireless extender, why not
just buy one Belkin pre-n for $150 and light up your whole
neighborhood?

I just got one of these things, the utility that comes on the CD is a
waste of space. Here's how I got it working after an hour of frustration

1) Disable WEP on the router
2) Hit the autoconfigure button for about 10 seconds (you might need to
reset to factory defaults if you've been playing around)
3) Go to 192.168.1.240 , the web interface should appear password is admin
4) Upgrade the firmware (I couldn't get the thing working with the box as
shipped. I found I had a V1 of the extender and you'll see there are
firmware updates on linksys.com
5) with the latest firmware enable WEP on the extender and any other
settings you need
6) re-enable WEP on the router.

I've found it now works great.
