Thanks. I think I'll just set static on the devices which access the repeater. I've googled for details on the repeater (Huawei ws 322) but without success. It was a pig to setup - but once done it works rather well, and seems to have little impact on the overall network performance. It's located about 20m away on an upper floor and extends the network significantly. I've looked at the repeater admin pages but can't see any option for bridging - so, as it works, I'm not messing with it! Thanks for all the advice.
