(Optional) Select the
Disable Wireless Client Association
check box to prevent wireless
clients from associating with the base station and allowing LAN client associations only.
You can leave the check box cleared if you prefer wireless clients to be able to associate
with the base stations.
6.
In the Repeater MAC Address 1 through 4 fields, enter the MAC addresses for the access
points that should function as repeaters.
If your modem router is the base station, it can function as the “parent” for up to four other
access points.

Click the
Apply
button.

Set Up a Repeater
Use a wired Ethernet connection to set up the repeater unit to avoid conflicts with the wireless
connection to the base station.
If you are using the modem router as the base station with a non-NETGEAR router 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 is the repeater.
To configure the modem router as a repeater:
1.
Log in to the modem router that will be the repeater.
2.
Select
Basic > Wireless Settings
and
verify that the wireless settings match the base unit
exactly.
The wireless security option has to be set to
WEP
or
None
.
3.
Select
Advanced > Wireless Repeating Function
.
4.
Select the
Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box.
5.
Select
the
Wireless Repeater
radio button.
6.
Fill in the Repeater IP Address field.

Verify connectivity across the LANs.
A computer on any wireless or wired LAN segment of the modem router can connect to
the Internet or share files and printers with any other computer or server connected to the
other access point.
Dynamic DNS
If your ISP assigned you a fixed IP address, you can register a domain name and link it to
your IP address by public DNS. However, most Internet accounts use dynamically assigned
IP addresses that can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic
DNS service. This type of service lets you register your domain to their IP address and
forwards traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic
DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.
Your modem router contains a client that can connect to the Dynamic DNS service provided
by DynDNS.org. First visit their website at
and obtain an account and
host name that you configure in the modem router. Then, whenever your ISP-assigned IP
address changes, your modem router automatically contacts the Dynamic DNS service
provider, logs in to your account, and registers your new IP address. If your host name is
hostname, for example, you can reach your modem router at http://hostname.dyndns.org.
To set up Dynamic DNS:
1.
Select
Advanced > Advanced Setup > Dynamic DNS
.
2.
Register for an account with one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose URLs are in
the Service Provider list.
For example, for DynDNS.org, select
www.dyndns.org
.
3.
Select the
Use a Dynamic DNS Service
check box.

Type the host name (or domain name) that your Dynamic DNS service provider gave you.
6.
Type the user name for your Dynamic DNS account.
This is the name that you use to log in to your account, not your host name.

Type the password (or key) for your Dynamic DNS account.

Static Routes
Static routes provide more routing information to your modem router. Typically, you do not
need to add static routes. You have to configure static routes only for unusual cases such as
multiple modem routers or multiple IP subnets on your network.
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
•
Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
•
You have an ISDN modem router on your home network for connecting to the company
where you are employed. This modem router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
•
Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your modem router, two implicit static routes were created. A
default route was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was
created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you
attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your modem router forwards your
request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed,
and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.
In this case you have to define a static route, telling your modem router that 134.177.0.0
should be accessed through the ISDN modem router at 192.168.0.100. In this example:
•
The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
•
The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN modem router at 192.168.0.100.
•
A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN modem router is on the LAN.
•
Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
To set up a static route:
1.
Select
Advanced > Advanced Setup > Static Routes
.

2.
Click
Add.
3.
In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only.)
4.
Select the
Private
check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only.
If Private is selected, the static route is not reported in RIP.
5.
Select the
Active
check box to make this route effective.
6.
Type the destination IP address of the final destination.
7.
Type the IP subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type
255.255.255.255
.
8.
Type the gateway IP address, which has to be on the same LAN segment as the modem
router.
9.
Type a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value.
This value represents the number of modem routers between your network and the
destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1.
10.
Click
Apply
The static route is added.
To edit or delete a static route:
1.
Select
Advanced > Advanced Setup > Static Routes
.
The Static Routes screen displays.
2.
In the table, select the radio button next to the route that you want to edit or delete.
3.
Do one of the following:
•
Click the
Edit
button.
The Static Routes screen adjusts.
a.
Edit the route information.
b.
Click the
Apply
button.
•
Click the
Delete
button.
The route is removed from the table.

Remote Management
The remote management feature lets you upgrade or check the status of your modem router
over the Internet.
Note:
Be sure to change the modem router default login password to a
secure password. The ideal password contains no dictionary words
from any language and contains uppercase and lowercase letters,
numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30 characters.

1.
Select
Advanced > Advanced Setup > Remote Management
.
2.
Select the
Turn Remote Management On
check box.
3.
Under Allow Remote Access By, specify the external IP addresses to be allowed to access
the modem router’s remote management.
For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical.
•
To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select
Only This Computer
.
Enter the IP address that will be allowed access.
•
To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select
IP Address
Range
. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.
•
To specify IP addresses, select
IP Address List
and type in the allowed IP
addresses.
•
To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select
Everyone
.
