Stay within a manufacturer's family for routers, APs and repeaters. There are no
standards for repeaters, so as you discovered, mixing manufacturers is a low
percentage play.

OTOH, I was very sucessful in linking three buildings a half mile apart with no
direct line of sight using an offset repeater. All Linksys gear though.

Keep in mind that with a repeater, you are trading range for throughput.
