I have a Verizon-branded Actiontec MI424WR-GEN2 Wireless router. I already have a firewall/router at my network's perimeter. How can I attach the MI424WR-GEN2 as a second wireless access point for my home network?

->Using Primary HTTP Port (80)
. Also check both boxes underDiagnostic Tools

Then, ensure Internet Protocol
