I am not sure I have my dwl-2100ap's ap mode set up
right. This works but the computers forget were the other networks are. All computers are on the same subnet with static ip address.

Would you please recommend the proper ap modes.

Do you have all correct MAC addresses configured? First of all you have to make sure that your APs have connectivity (assotiations) to each other.

Probably you should try different scenarios. I don't have these models in-hand, but according to D-Link manuals this may work:

1. AP1, AP3 & AP4 should be configured as "Client AP" with MAC address of AP2 as "Root AP".

2. Configure your "AP2" as the repeater with MAC AP1, or PtMP with MAC Addresses of AP1, AP3, and AP4.

Another area of concern is DHCP Servers. Do you have it configured on APs? If yes, then how do you handle overlapping addresses? I would recommend you to disable DHCP servers on APs and either assigh addresses by DFL-300, or configure manually.

Good luck,
