    If you are talking about entering 192.168.11.1 into your browser and 192.168.11.100 when it is set to access point mode, that it the IP address required to talk to the device, not Buffalo's website.

    You need to configure them separately using the Ethernet cable and then move on to using the wireless.

    If you follow the steps in the Configuring WDS Guide, downloadable here, we can see what stage you're at if you get stuck and then try to help. Remember to connect everything with Ethernet cable to make the configuration easier.

    Disable wireless encryption on both devices if you have enabled it and follow the troubleshooting section in the guide.
