R6100 WiFi Router Note: To avoid interference, NETGEAR recommends that you use different wireless settings for each wireless router or gateway on the network. You could also disable the wireless radio on the other router or gateway. 5. Click the Apply button. The IP address of the router changes, and you are disconnected. To reconnect, close and restart your web browser, and type http://www.routerlogin.net in the address field. Wireless Distribution System You can set the router up to be used as a wireless base station or a wireless repeater in a wireless distribution system (WDS). Note: To use the wireless repeating function, you need to select the None radio button as the security option in the Wireless Settings screen, and you cannot select Auto Channel. A WDS lets you expand a wireless network through multiple access points. A wireless base station connects to the Internet, can have wired and wireless clients, and sends its wireless signal to an access point that functions as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater can also have wired and wireless clients, but connects to the Internet through the wireless base station. The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.
