I have a new ESR9850 that I installed old firmware on (1.0.9), and have finally been able to utilize the wireless repeater mode. Once the unit is set-up and restarted, I seem to have no way to access the user control panel. I turn off the wireless card on my laptop, connect the 'repeater' via Cat5e cable, and type in 192.168.0.1. This takes me to my access point router only, and I can't figure out how to get into the repeater.
My only option to make any changes to it appears to be by doing a factory reset of the router (via the small button on the back), and reconfiguring it.
In particular, I's like to know if I can change the operating channel once the unit is put into repeater mode, as it currently occupies the same channel as my access point router.
Any advice?
