By default, 20/40 MHz coexistence is enabled to prevent interference between
WiFi networks in your environment at the expense of the WiFi speed. If no other
WiFi networks are present in your environment, you can clear the Enable 20/40
MHz Coexistence check box to increase the WiFi speed to the maximum supported
speed.
20/40 MHz coexistence applies to the 2.4 GHz band only.

Coexistence
The fragmentation length (the default is 2346), the CTS/RTS threshold (the default
is 2347), and the preamble mode (the default is Long Preamble) are reserved for
WiFi testing and advanced configuration only.
Do not change these settings unless directed by NETGEAR support or unless you
are sure what the consequences are. Incorrect settings might disable the WiFi
function of the modem router unexpectedly.

Use the Modem Router as a WiFi Access Point Only
You can set up the modem router to function as a WiFi access point (AP) on the same local network as
another router. When the modem router functions as a WiFi AP, many router-related features are disabled.
If you want to change the modem router’s function, use a wired connection to avoid being
disconnected when the new function takes effect.
Tip
To set up the modem router as an AP:
1.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the red Internet port on the rear panel of the modem router to a LAN
port on the other router.
2.
Launch a web browser from a WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device that is connected to the network.
3.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
4.
Enter the modem router user name and password.
