Topic: WL500GP as a repeater

Hi Guys,

I have a FritzBox with WLAN wich is connected to the internet. It's working currently as an AP.
Follwing settings are from the Fritz Box:
SSID: schilling
Wifi Channel 6
IP: 192.268.178.1

I want to connect a WL500gp with a fresh install of OpenWRT 8.09.1. This router should connect to the available WLAN and work as a repeater in order to have a better wifi connection on the second floor.

Here are my settings:
/etc/config/wireless

config wifi-device  wl0
        option type     broadcom
        option channel  6

        # REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI:
        option disabled 0

config wifi-iface
        option device   wl0
        option network  lan
        option mode     ap
        option ssid   openwrt
        option encryption none
        option hidden  0

config wifi-iface
        option device   wl0
        option mode     sta
        option ssid     schilling
        option encryption none

/etc/config/network

#### VLAN configuration
config switch eth0
        option vlan0    "1 2 3 4 5*"
        option vlan1    "0 5"


#### Loopback configuration
config interface loopback
        option ifname   "lo"
        option proto    static
        option ipaddr   127.0.0.1
        option netmask  255.0.0.0


#### LAN configuration
config interface lan
        option type     bridge
        option ifname   "eth0.0"
        option proto    static
        option ipaddr   192.168.1.1
        option netmask  255.255.255.0

Can anyone help me with the settings?
Thinks in advance!!

best regards
Robert

I don't find a solution. It should be one wireless network.
