^^^^ This.

That's what i'm doing with the repeater, it has a lan port too.

If you have it in that mode then I think you may well find that it no
longer responds to it's own base IP address until you do a factory
reset. It makes fine tuning the details more than a little tedious.

Keep notes of the setup and double check everything before you press the
activate button or you will go round the same loop many times!

Wireless router downstairs
Wireless repeater upstairs connected to a switch serving a couple of
printers and a PC.

Apart from the router being upstairs and the repeater downstairs that is
exactly the configuration that I use. Setting it up exactly right was
made more difficult by the inconsiderate way the unit went AWOL once it
was put into the rebroadcast fixed line ethernet mode.
