Hello, I am a bit of a noobie, so please excuse me if this question appears to be basic. We have a router modem, a D-Link with an IP address of 10.0.0.138. The router modem has attached to it an ethernet switch which in turn is used for 8 wired points variously distributed around the house. My wife wants to use a computer in the part of the house which has no wired point (I am sure there is a better technical term but I am referring to the adapter in the wall which looks like a telephone jack but is actually a point to connect an thernet cable - I hope this makes sense - I think it's called a RJ 45).
There is a nearby RJ45 to the room where my wife wants to move the computer and I am thinking of connecting a router that I have to that point - the router is a Netgear wndr3700v3. I had used this router for a month about two years ago as a router connected to a Comcast settop box.
What do I need to do to make the Netgear router act as an access point from the RJ45. I have been to this link http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19852/related/1 - my concern is that step 5 may be wrong in my case as the IP address of the modem router is not the same IP address assumed in the link - step 5 in the link states as follows: "In the IP Address field, change the LAN IP address of the router to 192.168.1.100 (same IP segment of the main router, 192.168.1.1) and clear the Use Router as DHCP server check box"
Many thanks!
