with the base stations.

Set Up a Repeater

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 access point as the 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 is the repeater.

To configure the access point as a repeater:
1. For the access point that will be the repeater, verify that the wireless settings match the
base unit exactly.
The wireless security option has to be set to WEP or None.
