wap2000 access point can't be used as a repeater

I have a wap2000 access point 
I want to use it as a repeater to a router Wifi Huawei HG532e . I configure my WAP2000 and the signal seems to be excellent .but when I try to connect it, it took a long time and can't get the IP although I use DHCP.
then I try to use static IP and it seems to be connected but can't access to my router.

any help?

When set to Wireless Repeater mode, the Wireless Repeater is able to communicate with a remote access point within its range and retransmit its signal. Click Site Survey to select the access point that will have its signal repeated by this Access Point. If this didn’t work, check if what is the wireless MAC address of the first WAP2000. Enter the MAC address of the access point manually into the second WAP2000. Make sure both WAP2000 are using the same firmware version and of course different local IP address (eg. first wap2000 is 192.169.1.200 the second might be not 192.168.1.201)
