Super G Wireless Router WGT624 v4 User Manual
5-24 Advanced Configuration
v1.0, July 2008
Setting Up the Base Station
The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be daisy
chained. You must know the wireless settings for both units. You must know the MAC address of
the remote unit. First, set up the base station, and then set up the repeater.
To set up the base station:
1. Set up both units with exactly the same wireless settings (SSID, mode, channel, and security).
Note that the wireless security option must be set to None or WEP.
2. From the main menu of the wireless router base unit, under Advanced, click Wireless
Repeating Function to display the Wireless Repeating Function screen.
3. Select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box and the Wireless Base Station
radio button.
4. Enter the MAC address for the repeater units.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
Setting Up a Repeater Unit
Use a wired Ethernet connection to set up the repeater unit to avoid conflicts with the wireless
connection to the base station.

Note: If you are using the WGT624 v4 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.
