3.Configure the IP address settings for the router:

•Get dynamically from existing router. By default, the Get dynamically from existing router radio button is selected, enabling the router to receive its IP address and other IP settings from the other router or gateway in your network.

•Use fixed IP Address. Select the Use fixed IP Address radio button to set up static IP address settings.

NETGEAR does not recommend this setting.

Note: If the other router or gateway in your network also has wireless capability, NETGEAR recommends that you use wireless settings on your router that are different from those on the other router or gateway to avoid interference. You could also disable the wireless radio on the other router or gateway and use your router only for wireless client access.

4.Click the Apply button.

Note: When you click the Apply button, the IP address of the router changes and you are disconnected. To reconnect, close and restart your web browser, and type http://www.routerlogin.net.

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

You can set up the router to be used as a wireless base station or wireless repeater in a wireless distribution system (WDS). A WDS lets you expand a wireless network through multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to link them. A wireless base station connects to the Internet, can have wired and wireless clients, and sends its wireless signal to an access point that functions as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater can also have wired and wireless clients, but connects to the Internet through the wireless base station.
