Best IP address to use for repeater?

I was looking through the following:

I have configured gargoyle as a Wireless Bridge/Repeater (second option in the 'Device configureation' menu). But what should I set the Bridge IP or the repeater IP to? The main router is at 192.168.1.1, so its it ok if I set the Bridge IP to 192.168.1.11? Or will this cause conflicts? Other instructions on the net set it to something like 192.168.2.1...not sure if that will work.

Your repeater must be in the same subnet as your main router.

Use 192.168.1.x.

After configuration this is the address you will use to access your repeater's web interface.

Alright, thanks.

I think I was confused on what "in the same subnet" meant. I thought anything in 192.168.x.x was in the same subnet, but its actually 192.168.1.x.

Also, both the repeater and the main router have to be on the same channel as well?
