I recently bought a Netgear WGR614 router from Flipkart. I had plans to use my existing Beetel 450 bx1 as a repeater to extend my wifi till my drawing room which is far away from my bedroom. However that feature was missing in Beetel so I couldn't. I installed Netgear router in my bedroom along with a spare Huawei modem I had. The next thing I did was get a CAT 5e cable and laid it till the drawing room.

So now I have Beetel 450 bx1, which I plan to use us as a router in my drawing room; and I have CAT 5E cable connected to the Netgear router(In the bedroom) on one end and Beetel 450 bx1(In the drawing room) on the other.

The problem is I can't get the Beetel router to work. Tried a lot of guides to no avail. It just wouldn't broadcast internet. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
