Note: If you are using the WNR2000v2 base station with a non-NETGEAR wireless 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 AP. To configure a WNR2000v2 router as a repeater unit: 1. Log in to the router that will be the repeater. Check the Wireless Settings screen, and verify that the wireless settings match the base unit exactly. The wireless security option must be set to WEP or None. 2. In the Wireless Repeating Function screen (depending on the frequency you want to use), select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box and the Wireless Repeater radio button. 3. Fill in the Repeater IP Address field. This IP address must be in the same subnet as the base station, but different from the LAN IP of the base station 4. Click Apply to save your changes. 5. Verify connectivity across the LANs. A computer on any wireless or wired LAN segment of the wireless router should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other wireless or wired computer or server connected to the other AP. Wireless Repeating (Also Called WDS) The WNR2000v2 router can be used with a wireless access point (AP) to build large bridged wireless networks. Wireless repeating is a type of Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Warning: If you use the wireless repeating function, your options for wireless security are limited to None or WEP. For more information about wireless security, see Chapter 2, “Safeguarding Your Network.” Customizing Your Network Settings v1.0, January 2010 NETGEAR Wireless-N 300 Router WNR2000v2 User Manual The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario: This wireless computer is This wireless computer is associated with AP 1. associated with AP 2. Internet AP 2 is in Repeater mode. PCs Wireless Router WNR2000 (AP 1) is in Wireless Base Station mode. Modem Figure 4-9 In the scenario shown, the following conditions must be met for both APs: • Both APs must use the same SSID, wireless channel, authentication mode (if any), and encryption mode (see information about WEP in “Configuring WEP Wireless Security” on page 2-9”). • Both APs must be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all the AP LAN IP addresses are in the same network. • All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) must be configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the APs. • If you are using DHCP, the Get Dynamically From ISP Gateway radio button in the Internet IP Address section of the Basic Settings screen should be selected for all AP devices in the IP Address Source section.

From the main menu, under Advanced, click Wireless Repeating Function to display the Wireless Repeating Function screen. Figure 4-10 The wireless router supports two modes of the wireless repeating function, and allows you to control wireless client association: • Wireless Base Station mode. The wireless router acts as the parent AP, bridging traffic to and from the child repeater AP, as well as handling wireless and wired local computers. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the child repeater AP. • Wireless Repeater mode. The wireless router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers to a remote AP. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the remote parent AP. • Disable Wireless Client Association. Usually this check box is cleared so that the router is an access point for wireless computers. If this check box is selected, the router communicates wirelessly only with other APs whose MAC addresses are listed in this screen. The router still communicates with wire-connected LAN devices.
