4.Select the Wireless Base Station radio button.

5.To prevent wireless clients from associating with the base station and allow LAN client associations only, select the Disable Wireless Client Association check box.

You can leave the check box cleared if you prefer wireless clients to be able to associate with the base stations.

6.In the Repeater MAC Address 1 through 4 fields, enter the MAC addresses for the access points that should function as repeaters.

If your router is the base station, it can function as the “parent” for up to four other access points.

7.Click the Apply button. Your changes are saved.

Set Up a Repeater

To set up the repeater to avoid conflicts with the wireless connection to the base station, use a wired Ethernet connection.

Note: If you set up your router as a base station with a non-NETGEAR access point 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 functions as the repeater.
