How do I configure a Sonicwall router (NSA 220W) to use a Netgear wireless router for WiFi instead of the built-in wireless?

Our network has a Sonicwall router NSA 220W connected to Cisco unmanaged switches but the wireless signal is horrible. How would I configure the NSA 220W to use another wireless router to provide the WiFi for the office. I have a netgear wifi router that used to give us a strong WiFi signal for this. Thanks for the help.

Unless you're using the built in WLAN zone, there is nothing special you have to do. If you are using the WLAN zone, then you have to go into its settings and turn off the portion the will only allow Sonicpoints.

Oh yes, configure the Netgear as an AP.
