Customizing Your Network Settings

Use a wired Ethernet connection to set up the repeater unit to avoid conflicts with the wireless 
connection to the base station.

To configure a N300R router as a repeater unit:

1. If you are using the same model of WiFi router for both the base station and repeaters, you 

must change the LAN IP address for each repeater to a different IP address in the same subnet 
(see 

2. Log in to the router that will be the repeater. Check the Wireless Settings screen, and verify 

that the wireless settings match the base station exactly. If the settings are different, be sure to 
configure the wireless settings to match the base station settings (see 

).

3. In the Wireless Repeating Function screen, select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function 

check box and the Wireless Repeater radio button.

4. Fill in the IP Address field. This IP address must be in the same subnet as the base station, but 

different from the LAN IP of the base station.

5. Fill in the Base Station MAC Address field.

6. Click Apply to save your changes.

7. Verify connectivity across the LANs. 

A computer on any wireless or wired LAN segment of the WiFi router should be able to 
connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other wireless or wired computer or 
server connected to the other AP.

Note: If you are using the N300R base station with a non-On Networks WiFi router as the 

repeater, you might need to change additional configuration settings. In particular, 
you should disable the DHCP server function on the wireless repeater AP.

Note: Failing to change the LAN IP address will cause an IP address conflict in the 

network because the factory default LAN IP is the same for both units.
