Wireless network with Bridge repeater

[Soarin]

I have a netgear from the ISP setup as 192.168.1.1 and a linysys wrt54gl with dd-wrt as 192.168.2.1 as a repeater bridge.Could I set the repeater as 192.168.1.2? Because I have a ethernet based printer and a wireless model that I need to them share with all clients,OR Would the Printers both on the Repeater be able to be seen on the 192.168.1.1. (which I do not think because of different subnet)

These 2 wireless clients are sometimes connected here and sometimes on repeater.

Are you NATing on your repeater into your 1.x LAN? From a repeater point of view I don't recall seeing this on consumer level hardware. On your repeater WAP/Router I would disable the DHCP server, set it to 2.1 and see if it works as expected.

I am ASSUMING that it is not routing and that it is just split into two different subnets. You may have a route defined on the 2.1 device which you may have to remove to ensure no weirdness crops up.

Nat and any QOS is not running on the repeater.. If I disable dhcp would the netgear assign address even to clients on the 2.1 subnet

The repeater is already 2.1 but I will disable the dhcp.
