You enter the Mac address of the DG824M into the field next to the
repeater option.
Put in the channel number or the DG824M and the SSID and security if
any.
Dlink is pretty specific on some of their repeaters about only working
ith certain dlink models.
May be that it wont talk to the netgear, if thats the case I d get a
netgear repeater.

Client Mode will allow a wired pc to communicate with an AP, but you
cannot
use it like you do an AP. It only talks to APs not clients.

No, APs dont talk to APs
