Hi all,
My ISP router (Technicolor TG784n v3) wireless capability is very bad so I disabled it and connected an RT-N16 configured as AP with Merlin's 3.0.0.4.374.35_4 to an ethernet port of the TG784. To cover my whole house I took my RT-N66U and configured it as a repeater, and here is my doubt... During the setup I chose to get an automatic IP, i.e., a dynamic IP from the main ISP router. The network is working fine but I would like to know if there is any problem on having a repeater's IP on the same subnet as the main ISP router. I've 'googled' for a little while and saw some tutorials advising to use a static IP on wireless repeater's, out of the main router subnet. As I said, all is apparently working fine but I would like to know if I can run into trouble by having my network set up this way.
Thanks in advance.
