Den ska fungera både som modem OCH router. Jag skulle köra på "Router Device Mode", som ger ett lokalt skyddat nätverk, innebär alltså inte att modem-funktionen slutar fungera. Om du vill att AirPort:en och andra datorer kopplade till switchen ska få ett IP-nr automatiskt måste DHCP vara aktiverat i routern. Om du har fortsatt problem, kolla att routerna har senaste firmware, enligt Netgears hemsida är det "Beta Version 3.6.0" (jag har kört med beta-versioner på min DG834G och det har fungerat bra).

Modem or Router Device Mode
The DG632 modem router can be set to operate in either Modem Device Mode or Router Device
Mode.
Modem Device Mode
When set to operate in Modem Device Mode, your computer must be configured for whatever
settings your ISP requires. Also, if your ISP uses software to establish your Internet connection,
the DHCP spoofing feature will eliminate the need to run that software.
When DHCP spoofing is enabled, the modem obtains the actual Internet WAN IP address from the
ISP during connection setup and forwards it to the attached computer.
Router Device Mode
In Router Device Mode, the DG632 supports configuration of the Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) parameters and login functions on the modem.
The DG632 supports Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Routing
Information Protocol (RIP). Appendix B, “Network and Routing Basics” provides further
information on TCP/IP.
• Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP
The DG632 dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, modem,
and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration of PCs on
your local network.
• DNS Proxy
When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the modem provides its own
address as a DNS server to the attached PCs. The modem obtains actual DNS addresses from
the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN.
• Classical IP (RFC 1577)
Some Internet service providers, in Europe for example, use Classical IP in their ADSL
services. In such cases, the modem is able to use the Classical IP address from the ISP.
