Hi ecky,

Please see documentation on DG834Gv4 for more information on Access Points. Page 30 of 168 summarizes some of the Wireless Access Point settings.
There is also a discussion similar to your question: https://community.netgear.com/t5/General-WiFi-Routers/Using-DG834G-as-a-second-router-access-point/td-p/365441

Let us know if these steps work for you.

Hi nhann,

Unfortunately It's not the netgear 'extender' that's the problem. I have downloaded the info from your link but I can't find how to create the settings as shown in the document with my master wifi router TP-Link Archer D7.

If you could help it would be great.

Thanks

Hi ecky,

If the issue is with the TP-Link, it may be best to contact their support for help on setting it up.
