Configure the IP address settings for the router:
•
Get dynamically from existing router. By default, the Get dynamically from existing
router radio button is selected, enabling the router to receive its IP address and other
IP settings from the other router or gateway in your network.
•
Use fixed IP Address. To set up static IP address settings, select the Use fixed IP
Address radio button.
NETGEAR does not recommend this setting.
Note:
When the other router or gateway in your network has wireless
capability, NETGEAR recommends that you use wireless settings
that are different from those settings on the other router or gateway
to avoid interference. You could also disable the wireless radio on
the other router or gateway and use your router only for wireless
client access.

Wireless Distribution System
You can set up the router to be used as a wireless base station or wireless repeater in a
wireless distribution system (WDS). A WDS lets you expand a wireless network through
multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to link them. A wireless base station
connects to the Internet, can have wired and wireless clients, and sends its wireless signal to
an access point that functions as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater can also have
wired and wireless clients, but connects to the Internet through the wireless base station.
