Select a product or category below for specific instructions. I have run the network cable between the LAN ports of both routers. However I then consulted the manual to understand how to configure my new N as a wireless internet distribution point but became confused. The manual refers to repeater with wireless client asociation, point to point bridge , multi point bridge modes. I am not sure which mode to configure. All that I want is for the N router to be able to relay wifi signals for the laptops in the remote end of my house.

What I would suggest is you also change the router your going to use as ap lan IP to something that is on your first routers network, outside its dhcp scope of course so that you can then access the now AP and setup its wireless network how you want, ssid, psk, security options, etc.

I don't remember which model it was, it was for a client. There must have been two devices responding to DHCP at the same time - the D-Link and the main router, except that the D-Link was always quicker to give out the leases.

I also tried factory resets. I ended up doing a firmware update, which fixed the problem permanently. I checked the release notes after and there was no mention in the release notes about this being an issue. I suspect they just didn't document it. Just through I would mention it in case anyone else comes across this problem with D-Link. I suspect that most IT folk would not come across this problem because we like to stay away from D-Link for all Wireless Gear because of their bad reputation well deserved in this case for having such an absurd bug , but sometimes we find ourselves stuck with it when it is bought by someone else.

Were the only clients that were seeing this change of the router wireless? How would it know to hand out the dns that was configured on the first dhcp server? And again it can not stop the packets from being seen by the other clients that are broadcasted. So it would be impossible for it to be faster while changing out the router and then rebroadcasting it. While I don't doubt there was something odd going on, think we are missing the details of the actual problem.

Changing out the gateway of some other dhcp servers packets with its own does not seem viable as what was actually going on to be honest. But yes you need to make sure that your dhcp server on your router you want to use as AP is disabled!!
