how can I configure a NETOPIA 3347WG as an access point

[ceez]

Hello everyone,

Ok so here's my setup - Comcast cable modem -> WNR1000 netgear which provides me my wifi.

Now I have a spare bellsouth/ATT Netopia 3347WG that I want to use as an access point so I can extend my wifi onto my backyard. I am at a complete loss as how to accomplish this. I've tried good ol' google but nothing that really helps me out.

I obviously would disable dhcp on the netopia but wouldnt know how to make it communicate with my netgear wifi to extend the range.

Thanks for the help!
