WAC120 DETAILED installation help for newb
I am about ready to put this thing in a vice and burn it. I do not understand anything that is not plug and play. I have had this thing for almost a year and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to work. I have searched every combination possible in google and youtube to find help as to how to set this WAP up with the same, abbreviated instructions at the end of every search. I NEED STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FO RHOW TO SUCCESSFULLY CHANGE MY IP ADDRESS TO STATIC WITHIN WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL 64-BIT. I HAVE TRIED AND I CANNOT GET TO THE NETGEAR MENU AS DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

- Can anyone help. I had everything set up and running fine, but after my son rebooted our main hub (I use the wac to extend the Wi-Fi so I can use in my attic room) the previously connected devices all see it but fail to obtain the up address
Hi, perhaps a conflict IP adresse due to DHCP reservation faulty.
The reboot perhaps stop IP lease.
try to assign IP adresse of router LAN port or hub LAN port in a DHCP RESERVATION.
