And that's the reason. The access point itself sees a wireless
connection, but the router sees only the wired connection (from the
access point).
When a wireless device connects to the router's built-in access
point, the router knows that it's a wireless connection; everything else
is a wired connection (so far as the router knows).

"gigabit" switch, but what, exactly, does "extender" mean to you?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Use the Router as a
Wireless Access Point".

I'd expect better results (less interference) if nearby access points
used different radio channels.

Re: Same Router use as Extender Nighthawk ac3200
I have 1 main router and 11 ( access point router) same model.
i used same config for all routers....i.e same ssid, password, and same channel also.
but the problem is my 2.4 ghz signal are weak...signal can't break 2 walls..signal goes to zero.
channel for 2.4 ghz is Auto
channel for 5ghz (1st band ) 36
channel for 5ghz (1st band ) 149
channels are for all 12 routers
any suggestion..

Re: Same Router use as Extender Nighthawk ac3200
One more questions.
Users are connected to my access point but they are showing as wired connect ,not showing in 2.4 ghz band and 5 ghz band..
All are wireless devices. Only access points are connecte with wires.
