Router: WRT54G
Wireless Expander: WRE54G
Alright, I recently acquired the WRE54G wireless expander to, well, expand my wireless network. However, the "Link" LED remains red, indicating that it is unable to connect to the router. I have checked multiple times to confirm that I do indeed have a compliant router and that it is within range, and I also updated the router's firmware to v3.01.3
Unfortunately, Linksys's support is rather lacking. The "manual" (just a .pdf file) has a meager troubleshooting section, and the "knowledge database" did not answer my question. Before I tried anything else, I was curious to know if anyone knew how to fix my problem, as I may just be incompetent.
Now, Auto-Configure clearly does not work, as the LED is red. So I decided to try the manual setup using the disc they supplied. The utility was able to locate both my wireless network and my wireless expander, but when I got to the end of the setup, I got an error message that said "Cannot associate with this AP in repeater mode."
I do not own an access point, so I'm not sure exactly how I disable repeater mode and if I should.
Can anyone offer any insight?
