Can EX3700 act as DHCP and NAT?

Hi, I am planning to use an EX3700 AC750 WiFi Range Extender for an untrusted wifi network. Can the EX3700 act as NAT and DHCP? Even when the network being extended is not available?   Thanks, Lu...

Thank you Darren,

What would you recommend instead? EX6100?

 

Thanks,

Ludovico

none of the extenders will handle DHCP you will have to use a router for that.

    I see from https://kb.netgear.com/24431/How-to-enable-NAT-of-EX6100 you can enable NAT on an EX6100. 

     

    What device will assign IP addresses to the clients behind NAT? Will the EX6100 assign addresses?

    Or are you saying that NAT on a EX6100 will not work without an additional router?

     

    Do you have a router that can also act as ane extender?

    For the records, I have bought an EX6100 and, comtrary to what stated above, it supports acting as NAT, DHCP, and DNS server.
