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 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

wireless repeater AP.

 To configure the router as a repeater unit:

1. Log in to the ro

uter that will be the repeater. Select Basic > Wireless Settings and

verify that the wireless settings match the base unit exactly. The wireless security option

has to be set to WEP or None.

2. Select Ad

vanced > Wireless Repeating Function, and select the Enable Wireless

Repeating Function check box and the Wireless Repeater radio button.

3. Fill in the Repeate

r IP Address field. This IP address has to be in the same subnet as the

base station, but different from the LAN IP address of the base station.

4. Click Apply to save

your settings.
