Nighthawk DST AC1900 DST Router and DST Adpater Model R7300DST To use router mode, you configure your new NETGEAR DST router as a normal WiFi router behind your gateway and create a separate WiFi network behind your gateway. To take full advantage of this DST router's advanced functions, we recommend that you use router mode. In router mode, the only device that can be connected to your existing gateway is your new NETGEAR DST router. You must connect all of your devices to the new NETGEAR DST router. If your existing gateway has a WiFi function, disable it. If you want to use the new DST router to get better WiFi performance beyond what you have with your existing gateway provides, access point mode is the easiest way to do that. We recommend that you disable the WiFi function on your existing gateway if it provides WiFi functionality. With this mode, you can connect wired devices to the gateway and connect wired and WiFi devices to your new NETGEAR DST router. If you already set up the Internet connection for your DST router and you are sure that you want to set up the DST router as an access point, see Use the DST Router as a WiFi Access Point on page 156. To set up the DST router with your existing router or gateway: 1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Internet port of this DST router to an Ethernet port on your existing router or gateway. Cable this port to a Ethernet port on another router. 2. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network. The first time that you are setting up the Internet connection for your DST router, the browser goes to http://www.routerlogin.net, and the NETGEAR genie page displays: Specify Network Settings for the DST Router 155
