N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3
Set Up a Repeater Unit
Use a wired Ethernet connection to set up the repeater unit to avoid conflicts with the
wireless connection to the base station.
Note:
If you are using the JWNR2000Tv3 base station with a
non-NETGEAR router as the repeater, you might need to change
additional configuration settings. In particular, you should disable the
DHCP server function on the wireless repeater AP.
To configure the router as a repeater unit:
1.
Log in to the router that will be the repeater.
2.
Select
Basic > Wireless Settings
and
verify that the wireless settings match the base unit
exactly.
The wireless security option must be set to
None
or
WEP
.
3.
Select
Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Repeating Function
and select the
Enable Wireless Repeating Function
check box and the
Wireless Repeater
radio button.
4.
Complete the Repeater IP Address field.
This IP address must be in the same subnet as the base station, but different from the
LAN IP address of the base station.
5.
Click
Apply
to save your changes.
6.
Verify connectivity across the LANs.
A computer on any wireless or wired LAN segment of the router should be able to
connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other wireless or wired
computer or server connected to the other access point.
Port Forwarding and Triggering
By default, the router blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except replies
to your outbound traffic. You might need to create exceptions to this rule for these purposes:
•
To allow remote computers on the Internet to access a server on your local network.
•
To allow certain applications and games to work correctly when your router does not
recognize their replies.
Your router provides two features for creating these exceptions: port forwarding and port
triggering. The next sections provide background information to help you understand how
port forwarding and port triggering work, and the differences between the two.
