I am a confused with what the Netgear router (N150) is doing when it automatically sets up a "wireless access point". When I follow their instructions, they connect the ethernet cable to the WAN port. After it is all done, I then set up the SSID and password to the same as the other router (cable provider all-in-one type of router), and it seems to work. However, when I check the "wireless access point" router, it still has DHCP enabled, but it just simply handing out addresses in another IP range than the "main". This goes against what seems to be the "correct" way to do multiple routers with the same SSID as shown in a previous question.
So two questions, is this current configuration "OK"? As in, (what seems to me) a LAN-to-WAN with both routers having DHCP on with non-overlapping ranges, but with the same SSID and security settings? If not, could you shed some light on why not?
The other is, should I just ignore Netgear's instructions and follow the LAN-to-LAN as recommended in the previous question?
