Hi.
I just purchased a DWL-1000AP+ since I read in dlink's website that it can work as a repeater for the Apple Airport base.
I'm currently accessing the internet via a dsl modem connected the airport base and I bought the d-link dwl1000ap+ to extend the network range to the upper floor of my house.
I configured the DWL with wep/128hex (athentication: Shared Key, and entered the same hex key I got from the airport admin utility).
Under advanced:wireless I set the DWL in repeater mode and entered the airport base MAC address.
It actually does repeat the network: MacStumbler detects two networks with the same SSID and two different MACs.
However, when I join the DWL's repeated network with my powerbook, no IP is assigned by the DHCP server, therefore I cannot access the Internet.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
