NETGEAR recommends that you use different wireless settings on this router

to avoid interference. You can also disable the wireless radio on the other

router or gateway and use your router only for wireless client access.

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

You can set the router up to be used as a wireless base station or a wireless repeater in a

wireless distribution system (WDS). A WDS lets you expand a wireless network through

multiple access points. 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. The following figure shows a wireless repeating

scenario.
