The IP of my home router supplied by my ISP is 192.168.1.1
The steps I have followed on the Netgear:
Plug ethernet cable into a port in the router
Reset the router
Login
Go to Wireless settings and change the Channel to match the home router. Click Apply
Go to Wireless Repeating Function setting and click the Enable Wireless Repeating Function box
I change the repeater address to 192.168.1.100 (note i have tried other sequences for the last 3 numbers as well)
I put the MAC address of my home router into the BAse Station Mac Adress.Click apply. The router updates settings
After reset I cannot access the netgear router IP adrdess on the web browser. I also cannot get in via routerlogin.net or routerlogin.com
I have also tried a different route where I change IP address in the LAN setup and untick the Use router as DHCP server box. I get the same problem after router resets.
"N300" is a speed, not a model number. Look for "Model" on the product label.

Ok. Connecting it to what, how?

Not a very detailed description of that device.

A typical Ethernet cable has two ends. Which "a port in the router"?

Why? Are you trying to configure your DGN2200[vX] as a wireless access point, or as a repeater, or what?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your (actual) model number, and look for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Read. Look for "access point". If your router does not have an "AP Mode" option, then you might want to see, for example:
That's written for a Netgear C6300-as-WAP, but the steps are about the same for any other router (any make/model) which lacks a one-step WAP option. If that's what you want to do.
