Technical Support Setup Procedure
How To Configure Repeater Mode on DIR-505 via Installation Wizard
Note: SharePort Function is not available when DIR-505 is in Repeater Mode
Step 1: Make sure the hardware switch on the DIR-505 is under ‘Repeater’ mode. Wait for the LED light to turn green before accessing the router.
Step 2: Please connect your PC to DIR-505 via Ethernet cable. Configure manual ip address in your PC in order to access DIR-505 in Repeater mode.
Note: The default IP Address of DIR-505 is 192.168.0.1.
Step 3: Open web browser on your PC, type in the ip address of DIR-505 - http://192.168.0.1 to enter the DIR-505 configuration page.
Default password is blank. Please enter your password if you have changed it. Click Log In.
Step 4: Go to SETUP>SETUP WIZARD. Click on ‘Launch Wireless Setup Wizard’ button.
Step 5: Click Next.
Step 6: Select ‘Manual’, Click Next.
Note: You may choose ‘WPS’ only if your main router supports WPS function.
Step 7: Select your main router wireless network name and click Connect.
Step 8: Please type in the pre-shared key / wireless password of your main router. Click Next.
Step 9: Click Save. The DIR-505 will reboot.
Step 10:
1. Back to Step 2. Remove the IP address that you have configured on Step 2.
2. Unplug the Ethernet cable from your PC to DIR-505 and place it at the location that you need to extend the wireless coverage.

Any status on this? ???

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.
