Dear plemans,
thanks for your proposals.
I read the information on the website that you provided for topic 3 and I could read that putting the netgear into AP mode needs also to disable WIFI on my fritz box. This is not possilbe because fritz box is in the celler and there is also need internet.
netgear is under the roof, so ...
I am interested in topic 2, but I do not really understand what you mean with "...put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ...".

Eduardo

You don't need to disable wifi on the fritz box with option 3.
You just want to make sure the netgear is using different wireless channels to prevent interference. They usually say turn it off because its easier to tell people that but you can merely change the wifi channels
