5. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless AP.
6. Select the Enable AP Mode check box.
7. Scroll down and select an IP address setting:
• Get dynamically from existing router. The other router on the network assigns an IP address to
this router while this router is in AP mode.
• Enable fixed IP settings on this device (not recommended). Use this setting if you want to
manually assign a specific IP address to this router while it is in AP mode. Using this option effectively
requires advanced network experience.
To avoid interference with other routers or gateways in your network, NETGEAR
recommends that you use different WiFi settings on each router.You can also turn
off the WiFi radio on the other router or gateway and use the R7800 router only for
WiFi client access.

To do this, you need two WiFi routers: one set up as a router and the other set up as a bridge.
