Hi, So I just installed a wifi repeater and connected it to the router in the main building due to the fact that my office is too far from the main building to get a stable connection directly to the router.

So the problem I have is that internet connectivity is 110% but I can not access the server which is connected through wan directly to the router.

I am using a custom subnet IP range from the router and my repeater has a subnet of 16, if I try to change the IP of my repeater to static and put it in the same subnet range of 76 then it says that it can not be in the same subnet.

I know I have to be in the same subnet to be able to access the server, but how can I do this via the repeater?
 
Do the repeater not have a bridge mode?
 
What repeater? ... any pics of the setup screen(s)
It is a R7 Solar router repeater, it connects with WISP, and then it has a function under advanced settings to change the IP (DHCP or static), Then it has the option to change SSID and password together with a button that says Switch, DMZ and Port forwarding, that is literally the only settings. I unfortunately can not send pictures right now

Why not get something that costs a bit more than R7?

So use DHCP and it should just inherit the settings from the router and have it all on the same network.

Also connect it LAN to LAN you don’t want any WAN connection anywhere then you’ll have a double NAT.
