USR 5450 as repeater

I have a Cayman 3000 ADSL modem running as a NAT/DHCP service with a
USR 8450 configured as an Access Point, and my PC clients can access
the internet etc using this setup.

I have bought another USR 8450 to act as a repeater to extend the
range of the network. I configured the second 8450 as a repeater,
with the MAC address of the AP 8450, but clients that associate with
the repeater can not access the internet (although DHCP seems to
work).

Has anyone got this kind of configuration working?

Do you have the AP 8450 configured as a DHCP server?

What AP Name , ESSID and channel did you configure the Repeater 8450
to use? Does it act as DHCP client or have you specified a TCP/IP
address? Do you have it set up as a DHCP server?

Do the clients see the repeater, or just the access point when
searching for wireless networks?

The log on the repeater does not include the complete MAC address of
the AP (last one or two digits are missing) in the initialisation
messages -- is this normal?

When I phoned the techical support line they basically had me
configure it as I had before, but asked me to wait for half an hour
for the "network to settle" -- didn't make any difference.

Thanks,
Damian

Whoops -- meant 5450 not 8450 below. Also I did a hard-reset on both
devices before configuring the repeater.
