Set Up a Repeater
Use a wired Ethernet connection to set up the repeater unit to avoid conflicts with the wireless
connection to the base station.
If you are using the router as the base station with a non-NETGEAR router as the repeater,
you might need to change more configuration settings. In particular, you should disable the
DHCP server function on the access point that is the repeater.
To configure the router as a repeater:
1.
Log in to the router that will be the repeater.
