cannot connect to interner

My XR300 router in AP mode is connected to the internet. I can connect to the router on the  WIFI guest network to the internet. If i add a password to the guest network i cannot connect anymore because it say, Cannot connect to the internet.

I have the same problem with my wireless network, cannot connect to the internet. Also with use of the WPS button.

Is should register the logging of the wifi, that does also not work. 

In the dutch language the option to set the router in AP mode is not displayed.

  • As you've disabled DumaOS this area is not part of our expertise so it may be best to make a ticket with Netgear directly but we will help as much as we can. The Guest Network is one of the features that is disabled when in AP mode so that will be why that aspect doesn't work. I would suggest taking it out of AP mode so putting it back into router mode, setting up the WiFi how you want, save/apply, then reboot the router from the interface. Wait 2 minutes then access and switch it back to AP and see if you can connect then.

      I did have it on normal mode, but it didn't work then also. I changed it at the shop for a new one, but the problem remains.

      I could log on to the wifi, but when i changed the password it stoped connecting my PC to the router.

        More than likely because you gateway has its own built in router. 

        When you setup the xr300 in router mode, you'd want to put its ip address into the livebox's dmz

    what router do you have it connected to? 

    In AP mode, thats what's controlling it. 

    Any reason you're using AP mode on the XR300? AP mode disables most of the benefits of dumaOS
