Device won't connect - AX6000 RBR850 FW V3.2.18.1
Trying to reconnect a Netgear WNCE2001 wifi adapter to my Orbi. It has previously been connected now it doesn't show up on the connected devices. A notification is generated that a new device has bee...
Ah Hah ! Excellent. I'll reconfigure an old Netgear N300 router as a bridge.
Thank you so much for your persistence with my problem ;-)
Thanks Furry, I've searched the router and can't find any switch for AX mode ... can you point me in the right direction, please ?
Basic Tab/Wireless settings. Uncheck the check box next to 2.4Ghz...
So I've done that and what has happened is that all of the 2.4G connections are blocked. Why does the device create a connection like 192.168.x.x and not a connection to the router like 10.0.x.x ?
Thanks in anticipation.
You'll need to read thru it's user manual and see how to set it up to work with the router. Seems like it may not be set up right or not handling the IP addressing it should be getting from the wifi system. Possible that this one device may not work well with Orbi AX systems.
Good Luck.
Thanks for trying Furry.
Funny that, the device is a Netgear Universal WiFi Internet adaptor ;-) ... standard automatic setup done transferring connections from a Netgear Nighthawk.
I have attempted to read the manual but don't have the time to sift through all 141 pages in detail to find anything, so far my cursory search has revealed zilch ... the manual not particularly intuitive in this respect.
If there are any Netgear Orbi support staff monitoring this blog, I'd really like some help please, before my free support runs out.
