I have a DGL-4500 that is currently operating on 2.4Ghz. I recently got an IP Internet Radio that has the capabilities to be configured to operate as a wireless Access Point. I need to know;

do i need to change anything in the current setup of the DGL-4500?
Will the additional Access Point works as a separate network?
Does it need to have the same SSID that my network has?  or should i create a different name?
for the Access Point, will it be IP static or DHCP?

Any advice is greatly appreciated

We have no idea what internet radio device this is, so we can't tell you what capabilities it has, and what it doesn't have.

Just because it can be set as a wireless access point, doesn't mean that it'll work as such, in conjunction with a DGL-4500.

I currently have a MacBook Pro, and a Time Capsule.  The TimeCapsule has a built in router function/AP.  I can configure it to act as a bridge and EXTEND the wireless.  Or, I can just use it to setup a bridge, but make an entirely separate network.

In order for you to answer your own questions, you need to READ THE DAMN MANUAL.  You just said an IP Internet Radio...that doesn't help us...we don't know which one, and therefore we can't help you.  Just saying that it's an access point doesn't really help either...as we don't know the functions of it.

THE DAMN MANUAL doesn't have clear information on how to use this feature. The Internet radio is Aluratek AIRMM01F, does this help? if you don't think you have anything constructive to contribute then maybe you can keep you DAMN opinion to yourself.

Calm the hell down kid.  Again, YOU need to READ the manual for your own damn IP radio.  We couldn't tell you what to configure or anything or even what it was capable of.

It wasn't an opinion, and ANYONE would have told you the same damn thing. 

Edit:  By actually NAMING what device it was, it was easy to look up how to configure it.  Just did a google search for it, and found the PDF manual. Took all but 2 minutes.

It HAD all the information in there, and all it took was a little research on your part, and even reading.  Again, my post towards you was not hostile nor was it an opinion.  Further more, my post was also constructive, and even got to the bottom of what you were talking about.  And even got you to tell us what brand and model of the IP radio it was.

And just a FYI, if you come here asking for help, YOU NEED TO GIVE PROPER INFORMATION.

According to the manual, you can extend the Wireless, or even create a new AP.  Assign it a static IP in the DGL-4500.  You can keep it using the same SSID, or you can use a completely new one and make two separate networks.  It does not explain whether or not if it will extend your wireless network wirelessly, and act as a repeater, or if it requires you to plug it in via Ethernet to extend it wirelessly.  But, you will have to test this for yourself.

The manual is pretty much straightforward.  http://www.aluratek.com/downloads/AIRMM01F_Manual.pdf

I don't see any advantage of routing it through the DLG-4500.  Set it up as it's own access point, and connect to it as you need.
