The comment about SharePort isn't relevant to your question.  I have found WPS support in many devices to be unreliable. Can you configure the 505 to connect by SSID and password?

I have same kind of problem. I want to access my file via shareport in repeater mode but it just didn't happen. The accesspoint mode can't get me through the internet while still able to access my storage. Why can't d-link make it happen? My dir-510l works like charmed. I can use it in a repeater mode and still can access my shareport. I hope d-link will solve this kind of issue.

May not be supported under Repeater mode.
