Setting 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.
To configure a Dual Band Wireless-N Modem Router as a repeater unit:
1. If you are using the same model of modem router for both the base station and repeaters, you
must change the LAN IP address for each repeater to a different IP address in the same subnet
(see
“Using the LAN Setup Options” on page 5-1 ).
2. Log in to the router that will be the repeater. Check the Wireless Settings screen, and verify
that the wireless settings match the base unit exactly. The wireless security option must be set
to WEP or None.
3. In the Wireless Repeating Function screen, select the Enable Wireless Repeater Mode radio
button.
This IP address must be in the same subnet as the base station but different from the LAN IP of
the base station.
4. Fill in the Base Station MAC Address field.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
6. Verify connectivity across the LANs.
A computer on any wireless or wired LAN segment of the modem router should be able to
connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other wireless or wired computer or
server connected to the other AP.
Note: If you are using the DGND3300 base station with a non-NETGEAR modem 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.
Note: Failing to change the LAN IP address will cause an IP address conflict in the
network because the factory default LAN IP is the same for both units.
