NETGEAR RangeMax™ Wireless-N Gigabit Router WNR3500v2 User Manual

Setting Up the Base Station

The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be daisy
chained. You must know the wireless settings for both units. You must 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 exactly the same wireless settings (SSID, mode, channel, and security).
Note that the wireless security option must be set to None or WEP.
2. From the main menu of the browser interface on the wireless router base unit, under
Advanced, click Wireless Repeating Function to display the Wireless Repeating Function
screen.

Wireless Repeating Function. If you are using one of these security options,
please change the security setting before you enable the Wireless Repeating
Function.
