How to configure Netgear WGR614v9 as a Wireless Repeater (without a physical cable)
I have a Binatone wifi router acting as my base station:
Model: Binatone WR1500N2
LAN Port
MAC Address 0C:D2:B6:37:02:F6
IP Address 192.168.0.1
DHCP ON
IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
I have a Netgear router that I want to use as a wireless repeater.
Model: Netgear WGR614v9
LAN Port
MAC Address 00:24:B2:A9:C2:AE
IP Address 192.168.0.2
DHCP ON
IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Here are the wireless repeater settings at both the routers:
I do not want to run a physical cable between the two routers, but the configuration I have been able to do requires a cable to be run.
I googled and found that I need 'Wireless repeater & bridging' option, but I cannot find it in the router page.
DD-WRT does not support this router. Is there a work-around?

Have you looked into router compatibility with OpenWrt or TomatoWrt?

So this is my mistake.
- The 2 routers, the base station (Binatone) and the repeater unit
(Netgear WGR614v9) have to be assigned the SAME SSID. - The 2 routers have to use the SAME Authentication Mode (WEP in my
case, since the netgear only supports WEP in repeater mode). - Both APs must use the same channel (this part I had gotten right)
In my case, I had configured the base station SSID and repeater SSID differently. Also I had used WPA2 on the base station and WEP on my repeater.
You can find a full documentation for the Netgear WGR614v9 here. Hope this helps someone else.
