Convert DG834Gv4 from router to repeater

Question

I recently purchased a TP-Link Archer D7 which as I using as my main router and want to convert my old DG834 to an extender/repeater. I am having problems setting up the modems to comunicate with each other via wifi and I don't want to use an ethernet cable. I am not a computer expert so 'simple' instructions on how to set up each machine would be great.

Thanks

Hi ecky,
&nbsp;
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&nbsp;'extender' &nbsp;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
