Hi guys
First of all thank you in advance, however I would like to know how to extend my wifi strength using 2 netgear routers. I have a dgn2200m as the primary router and dg384gt as secondary router(i want to makes this the repeater) they both have wds support but will somebody please guide me the proper way to do it I would really appreciate it as I spent hours on the net without any luck.
Thank you
 
Don't waste your time with wireless repeaters, lay some cable when you've got a chance and add an access point(s)

Ya i also use WAP'S so which ever one im closer to in the house i switch to so for instance my main router would be "myNetworkName" then my AP would be "MyNetworkName_EXT" i actually find this better then repeating the signal.
 
Much easier way to do it is just set each wifi with the exact same SSID and security. Your mobile devices will auto switch to the stronger one without you doing a thing. Just make sure they are all on separate channels.
I have 3 dotted around the property for full coverage.

Wired for all fixed devices (PC's, consoles, etc...).
