Having Trouble Configuring WNR3500 As An Access Point

I am trying to configure a Netgear WNR3500 router to be used as an access point.

My AT&T U-Verse Gateway router is in the basement of my house and the WNR3500 is in my office on the second floor of my house. I am using the Netgear Knowledge Base article ID 19852 titled "Set Up a Wireless Router as an Access Point on a Network".

In Step 5 is says in Advanced tab Setup > LAN "In the IP Address field, change the LAN IP address of the router (WNR3500) to 192.168.1.100 (same IP segment of the main (AT&T) router (192.168.1.1) and uncheck the DHCP server box.

I did that and the wireless access point doesn't work.

The AT&T Gateway wireless router IP address is 192.168.1.254. I also tried changing the WNR3500 LAN IP address to 192.168.1.200 and the access point still doesn't work.

I think I am doing something wrong with the LAN IP address.

Can anyone help me configure the WNR3500? This seems so simple but I am stuck.

Thanks, Bill

all loos fine.. make sure you are connecting LAN out of 3500 and connect to LAN port of the ATT devcie and should all work

WNR3500 is not an access point device. It is still wireless N router
