Change the Extender IP Address
By default, the extender receives its IP address automatically from the WiFi router to which it
connects. If the WiFi router does not have a DHCP server or its DHCP server is disabled, you
can assign a static IP address to the extender.
Before you assign a static IP address, you must know the IP address range, subnet mask,
gateway IP address, and primary DNS server of your network.
CAUTION:
NETGEAR recommends that you change the IP address of the extender
only if you are technically experienced or have a technically experienced
person to help you. Incorrect configuration can prevent you from
connecting to the extender and might require you to reset the extender to
factory default settings.
