NETGEAR WAX204

Note: The Internet (WAN) and LAN ports of the WAX204 access point support
gigabit speed. That means that speeds over 1 GB can be achieved only between
the access point and its connected devices, but not for traffic to and from the Internet.
As an example of a WiFi bridge, you could install the first access point in the office in
which your Internet connection is located. Then set up the second access point as a
WiFi bridge and place it in a different room or floor. If you use a home office, you could
use another room such as one where your home entertainment center is located. Cable
the access point that functions as a WiFi bridge to your Smart TV, NeoTV, or Blu-ray
player, and use its 802.11ax WiFi connection to the first access point.
The access point that is connected to the modem does not require any special setup
because the access point that functions as a WiFi bridge connects to an existing SSID
as a WiFi client, just like any other WiFi clients.
To set up the access point as a WiFi bridge to a device that provides the Internet
connection:
1.
Make a note of the WiFi settings of the other access point, WiFi router, or AP that is
connected to the modem.
You must know the SSID, WiFi security mode, WiFi password, and operating
frequency (either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz).
2.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
access point network.
3.
Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the
access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not
know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point when you cannot
use routerlogin.net on page 27.
A login window displays.
If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 30.
4. Enter the access point local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
5.
Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Router / AP / Bridge Mode.
The Router / AP / Bridge Mode page displays.
6. Select the Bridge Mode radio button.
