Current running Access Point: HP Wireless Access Point 420
Secondary AP: D-link DWL-7000AP
Is it possible to have the D-link hardware repeat / bridge the connection so I can get a wider area cover with wireless access?
Have used google looking for guids but haven't found anything interesting, yet... Any tips or knowledge?
Thanks!

Most 802.11g Access Point can Repeat.
However of the Brand name only BuffaloTech Wireless, some of the Belkin 802.11g, and Linksys WRT54 with 3rd party software can repeat/WDS. (

OK so there should be no problems using the Dlink AP as a repeater since the HP is the one with all settings etc.
Gonna have a look at the software at the AP and see what I can find out to change
