Is it possible to get a Netgear wireless router to work with an Airport Extreme and Express

Hi


I have an Airport Express and an Extreme that work together in my home for my network. I recently bought a stereo receiver that can have a wireless router pluged into it so I can use Airplay through it.


I have an older Netgear router that I was planning on using. How do I get this to work/how do i get the Netgear router to be a part of my wireless network/is this even possible.


Thanks for the help.

What is the make & model of this stereo receiver. If it is AirPlay-Ready then it would also have either a built-in wireless card or Ethernet connection. If it is an Ethernet connection, is your goal to use the Netgear router as a wireless Ethernet bridge. That is, have the Netgear connect to the AirPort's wireless network, and in turn, have the receiver connected to the Netgear by Ethernet?

Maybe not. I managed to download and review a copy of this Netgear's router setup manual but it does not provided enough details on how to disable the device's DHCP & NAT services to be of much help.


I'm afraid that you will need to go to the Netgear support forum for assistance on reconfiguring this router as a wireless Ethernet bridge ... even if possible. Sorry!
