Hi @sp . If there is nothing in the VX420 menu system about wireless distribution or WDS bridging, then it can't be done.

Why do you want to do this? Do you have wifi dead spots that you want to cover with VX420?

Can you reposition the Netgear to a better position with longer cable to NBN box?

These articles have suggestions to improve wifi coverage.

BTW, email notification from Community is not working. You need to check back here from time to time for updates.

You can try a wifi extender placed partway between Netgear and wifi dead spot. It extends the Netgear wifi or creates new wifi network. The VX420 can also be connected to the extender's ethernet port.
