If the SonicWall is the main router and the Netgear is an add-on, you should be able to do the following:<br />
<br />
<br />
Plug a LAN port on the Netgear to a LAN port on the SonicWall.<br />
<br />
Log into the Netgear setup and give the LAN address a static IP address on the SonicWall Network.<br />
<br />
Go to the DHCP setup on the Netgear and turn DHCP OFF. <br />
<br />
Now wireless devices on the Netgear will get LAN addresses and Internet from the SonicWall.<br />
<br />
I have a setup like this here (all Cisco gear) and the concepts are identical.

I guess as a repeater. The router is connected to a switch that is connected to the SonicWALL. I may be going about this the wrong way. Maybe it should be a bridge.

You only need a bridge if you are covering a long distance with the Netgear. If you do not need a large area, try the way I described.

Yes, in general the only thing bringing is good for are modems so that firewalls can be fully utilized, removing double NAT and also to manage the authentication where required. Bridging should really be confined to that unless you need to wirelessly bridge a segment that physically cannot accept a wire to reach an WAP (really not ideal).

Thanks for the help. I will be able to try these suggestions tomorrow. If these work I will let you know. Thanks for all the help.

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.

Network Management

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.

Network Security

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.

Network Operations

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
