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 WNDR4500 base station with a non-NETGEAR
router as the repeater, you might need to change additional
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 router 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 Advanced > Wireless Repeating Function, and select the Enable Wireless
Repeating Function check box and the Wireless Repeater radio button.
3. Fill in the Repeater 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.
