How can I tell which it is? The repeater automatically sets up a network with the same SSID, channel and security as the router. But, I have this wifi analyser tool on my phone which shows two distinct networks with the same SSID.
I don't think there's a high throughput mode available on the router btw.

Oh. I solved the printing problem. The Macbook hadn't reset itself to print to 192.168.1.253, I had set it up that way. The bebox is at 192.168.254, but you need to print to 253. The repeater happened to have a default ip of 254, so I set that to 253 to make it work, not realising that that was where I was printing to. So, in efect I was trying to print to the repater when the printer is hooked up to the router...
So I set the repeater IP to 252, and printing now works again.
