TP Link AV200 with Netgear Wireless Router

    Hey,

    recently bought the TP Link AV200 powerline adapters. They work fine and am happy with the speed. However in the room there are 4 devices to connect to the web so rather than plugging in a device as I need it, I am hoping to use a Netgear Wireless router (WGR614 v6) so as to give myself more connection options.

    Does anyone know what changes I might need to make to the router so it receives the signal from the TP Link adapter makes the 4 ports available and a wireless connection available?

    Thanks,

    Branners

    Disable dhcp and connect to the powerline with a lan port. Also disable firewall, nat and upnp as they're not being used.

    Thanks for the replies, I managed to get it sorted. I hadnt disabled the DHCP but once I did it was grand!

    Thanks again,
