Function to display the Wireless Repeating Function screen.

Set 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.
Note: If you are using the WNR1500 base station with a non-NETGEAR
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 access point.
To configure a WNR1500 router as a repeater unit:
1.
If you are using the same model of 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
LAN Setup on page 67).
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.
