network connect
I connected the router and Netgear shows up as one of my networks.
When I start my laptop, it selects NetGear as my preferred network...
But when I select Netgear ... and connect to it ... It connects, but I have no wifi with this network, so i have to go back and choose my providers network ... which sucks
Does anyone know the solution to this ??
Do I have to change an IP address ??
I'm lost ...

When you say "choose my providers network" does your isp's network have wifi?
that causes a double nat and can create issues.
What is Double NAT? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
Try putting the netgear into access point mode.
Or your networks device into modem only mode.
what modem/gateway is it?
