Hi,
I am using one DIR-600L connect to internet & PC, now i want to add another one in this network so i can extend wifi range area.
So before i post this question here i read & try
http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=50738.0
http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=52818.0

But this both not helpful with DIR-600L.
In both Router Hardware version B1 & Firmware version 2.04.
Now i call Routers as R1 & R2.
R1 connected to PC & Internet Router provided by ISP.
I follows steps given in http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=52818.0
So For R1 i choose WDS+AP+Router & in Bridge setting i put R2 MAC Address.
Then in R2 i choose WDS+AP & in Bridge setting i put R1 MAC Address.
Both R1 & R2 are WiFi Protected.
1.when i try to 'Add wireless device with WPS' & follow the instructions then in any router i cant see another one? But when i follow same for cellphone then in one router it shows.(WPS setup)

2. How can i use both R1 & R2 in same network so i can extend Wifi Range area?
3. Can i use one as Router & another as Repeater?

I try my best but not succeeded, i need help!

Link>Welcome!

• What region are you located?

I believe the 600L doesn't support WDS or any repeater or bridging features. Only DAP or DIR series models listed here support bridging or repeating features:

Thanks for reply.
I live in India.
In given link DIR-600L is not present but in configuration these points are included by DLink.
Is that for 'April fool' us?

[FurryNutz]

Could you post a picture of what the configuration page looks like with the WDS options please?

Please post a link to the support page on D-Links India site as well...

[khiremandar]

Surely but not now. Tomarrow i will post whole pictures.
1.Can i use DIR-600L as Router with DIR-600M as Repeater for that? That also has configuration as Repeater.
2. Or by LAN cable if i connect both DIR-600L then can i get effect as i want?

So some how i can extend area?

[FurryNutz]

If either model has Repeater options then they should work well to connect as repeaters to the main 600L. I presume all that is needed is that you need to configure the repeater to connect to the main routers SSID and PW.

[khiremandar]

I tried in 600M, it clearly only one check box for work as repeater & after ticking it, it reboots & all other configuration tabs get disable.
But i confuse how i check it really work as repeater means when i put both devices in different location & try to connect my cell phone(it near to repeater far from router) to internet via Wifi so how i confirm it connect firstly to repeater & then Router & then internet?

[khiremandar]

What about my second question

2. Or by LAN cable if i connect both DIR-600L then can i get wifi as i want?

[FurryNutz]

Yes, then you would use this configuration:
Turning a router into an AP.

Thanks for this new link.
So i think if DIR-600M really work as Repeater then by using 3 devices i can get bigger area in Wifi.
R1 & R2 by lan cable & r3(repeater) by wireless connect to one of the router?

But for more clarification DIR-600L, i will post screenshots all configuration. 

[FurryNutz]

That should work. I presume that placement is crucial as well. I'd try at a distance of 20feet to 30 first between these devices.
