NETGEAR Nighthawk RS600 - Set up the Router as a Wifi Access Point

Set up the router as a WiFi access
point
You can set up the router to run as an access point (AP) on the same local network as
another router. When you set up the router as an AP, some of its router features are
disabled so that they do not interfere with the router features of the other router.
NOTE: To use AP mode and keep the ability to access to the router web interface,
connect using an Ethernet cable from your router's Internet port to a LAN port
on your existing network.
To set up the router as an AP:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set
up your router. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Router / AP Mode.
The Router / AP Mode page displays.
5. Select the AP Mode radio button.
The page adjusts.
6. Select an IP address setting:
•
Get dynamically from existing router: The other router on the network assigns
an IP address to this router while it is in AP mode.
•
Use fixed IP address (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.
7. Click the Apply button.
The IP address of the router changes, and you are disconnected.
8. To reconnect, close and restart your browser and type http://www.routerlogin.net.
