Wireless Access Point (Ap) - NETGEAR R6250 User Manual

Wireless Access Point (AP)

You can set up the router to run as an access point (AP) on the same local network as
another router.

To set up the router as an AP:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Internet port of this router to a LAN port in the
other router.
2. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
3. Select the Enable Access Point Mode check box.
The AP Mode section of the screen expands.
4. Select the check box for the IP address setting that you want to use:
• Get an IP address dynamically from the other router. The other router on the
network assigns an IP address to this router while this router is in AP mode.
• Fixed IP address (not recommended). Use this setting if you want to manually
assign a specific IP address to this router while it is in AP mode. Using this option
effectively requires advanced network experience.
