I found a setup that I like even better than my previous one.  I have highlighted the main differences, in red, below.

To set it up as repeater do the following:

• Do a 30 second reset

Under wireless->basic settings:

• Wireless mode: AP
• Wireless Network Name (SSID): Your prefer SSID
• Wireless Channel: Your prefer channel ( Use channel with less interference from other access point)
• Save Settings

Under Wireless > Wireless Security

• Set your wireless authentication

Under Setup->Basic Setup:

• Under WAN Connection Type:
  • Connection Type : Disabled
  • STP : Disable
• Under Router IP:
  • Local IP address :Set your IP your address to a same subnet of your main router (if your main router IP is 192.168.1.1, set it to same subnet like 192.168.1.2)
  • Subnet Mask : same as your main router subnet
  • Gateaway : Your main router IP
  • DNS : Your main router IP
• Under Network address Server Setting (DHCP)
  
  • DHCP Type : DHCP Forwarder
  • DHCP Server : Your main router IP
  • Time settings : disable
• Save Settings

Under Security Tab

• Un-check all items in the “Block WAN Request” section
• Then disable the SPI firewall
• Save Settings

Under Administration Tab

• Enter all other necessary information, remember to change your password
• Click the Save button
• Then click Reboot button
