Set Up The Base Station - NETGEAR N600 DGND3800B User Manual

N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit VDSL2 Modem Router DGND3800B
The modem router is always in dual-band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one radio. If
you enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless base station or wireless
repeater cannot be enabled in the other radio band. However, if you enable the wireless base
station in either radio band and use the other radio band as a wireless modem router or
wireless base station, dual-band concurrent mode is not affected.
For you to set up a wireless network with WDS, both access points have to meet the
following conditions:
• Both access points have to use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.
• Both access points have to be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all of the access point
LAN IP addresses are in the same network.
• All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) are configured to operate in the same
LAN network address range as the access points.

Set Up the Base Station

The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be
daisy-chained. You have to know the wireless settings for both units. You have to know the
MAC address of the remote unit. First, set up the base station, and then set up the repeater.
To set up the base station:

1. Set up both units with the same wireless settings (SSID, mode, channel, and security).
The wireless security option has to be set to None or WEP.
2. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Repeating.
3. Select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box.
