Set Up the Router with an Existing Router or Gateway

If you already use a router or gateway for your Internet connection, you can connect your
new router to your existing router or gateway and set up the router in one of the following
modes: router mode or access point (AP) mode.
Router mode lets you configure your new NETGEAR router as a normal WiFi router behind
your gateway and creates a separate WiFi network behind your gateway. To take full
advantage of this router's advanced functions, NETGEAR recommends that you use router
mode. In router mode, the only device that can be connected to your existing gateway is your
new NETGEAR router. You must connect all of your devices to the new NETGEAR router. If
your existing gateway includes a WiFi function, disable it.
If you want to use the new router to get better WiFi performance than you get from your
existing gateway, access point mode is the easiest way to do that. NETGEAR recommends
that you disable the WiFi function on your existing gateway, if it uses WiFi functionality. With
this mode, you can connect wired devices to the gateway and connect wired and WiFi
devices to your new NETGEAR router.
