Setting up 2 routers with one as a repeater
Hello community, (sorry if you receive this post twice, it looked like my first one was posted not in the U.S) I've searched different threads, and have not come across anything for this, or I haven't found it. I'm looking to use my R6100 w/latest f.w as my router which is connected to CMD31T Modem. And I want to use my R6200 w/latest f.w as a range extender. Can anyone advise me on what settings to use via Netgear Genie. Upstairs I want to connect an X-box One S using a port on the R6200 and looking for some tips. Also my modem cm300... should I upgrade that with one that has 16x4 channel bonding? Sq Feet 1500: Upstairs Xbox and Wii Downstairs KFireStick, and then I have 2-3 lasptops, 4 -6 mobile devices. I realize I'm lumping 2 questions in here. Please advise. Thanks!!SolvedProblem setting up WNR614 as Wifi Repeater / Range Extender
Hi, I have a Wifi ADSL2+ Modem (Beetel 450tc1) which I use to connect to my computer. Recently I have purchased a new Netgear WNR614 Wifi Router and want to use as a range extender. I connected the netgear repeater to wifi modem with cable and another cable from netgear router to computer. It opened routerlogin.net at the start. In documentation it mentions that I should use same SSID, same channel, encryption method and same password in netgear router. As soon as I put the repeater on same channel, my computer stops opening routerlogin.net and it gives page not found error. Also when router starts it gives message that "To avoid a conflict with your Internet Service Provider, your router's IP address has been updated to 10.0.0.1". My modem IP address is 192.168.1.1. So when I try to change netgear router ip address to 192.168.1.2, it is giving me error "The ip address conflict with the WAN IP subnet. Please enter a different ip address. Invalid DHCP starting IP address". When I remove the Use Router as DHCP server, it gives me error - "The ip address conflict with the WAN IP subnet. Please enter a different ip address". When I try to enable "Enable Wireless Repeating Function", it gives me erorr - "The wireless repeating function cannot be used with Auto Channel". But when I change the Auto Channel to the same channel as of my modem (channel 1), my computer stops opening routerlogin.net and I can't access the netgear router config settings any more. The only option I left with is resetting the router. Please help me. ThanksSolved53KViews0likes17Comments
