All LAN devices (wired and WiFi computers) are configured to operate in the same
LAN network address range as the access points.
Note: If you are using the access point as the base station with a non-NETGEAR access
point as a repeater, you might need to change more configuration settings. In particular,
you might need to disable the DHCP server function on the non-NETGEAR access point
that is the repeater.
Set up a WiFi bridge between access points
The following procedure describes how you can configure the WiFi bridge settings on
one access point and then do the same on another access point, allowing the WiFi
bridge to be established.
To set up a WiFi bridge between two access points:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser displays a security warning, you can proceed, or add an exception
for the security warning. For more information, see What to do if you get a browser
security warning on page 42.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight app, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 24.
The Dashboard page displays.
4. Select Management > Configuration > Wireless Bridge.
The page that displays lets you select a WDS profile (WDS 1, WDS 2, WDS 3, or WDS
4).
5. Click the > button to the left of a WDS profile.
The WDS profile page displays.
6. Select the Band 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radio button.
