Set Up a Repeater

To set up the repeater to avoid conflicts with the wireless connection to the base station, use
a wired Ethernet connection.
Note: If you set up your router as a 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 functions as the repeater.
To configure the router as a repeater:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
