WNCE2001 inappropriately providing DHCP connections
I have a new WNCE2001 Wireless Ethernet bridge and have successfully configured it to connect my ethernet-only printer to my home network. This morning, I was unable to get to the internet from my iP...
I am experiencing this problem too, and thanks to this forum have now discovered the conundrum which keeps wireless devices from connecting to the Internet in my Household.
HOWEVER, I checked the firmware revision on the two devices I own, and sad to say they are both already 1.0.0.26 -- I even downloaded and re-applied the firmware to each, just to make sure.
Despite this, if either device is turned on, they are likely to respond to wireless devices requesting DHCP, and though they usually end up with a valid IP address, the gateway is 192.168.1.251 -- which is one or other of the WNCE2001 devices :-(
Turning off both WNCE2001 devices guarantees the wireless devices will get the correct DHCP details from my Netgear WNR1000v3.
Any further advice -- will try to call Netgear as this renders the WNCE2001 devices practically useless :-(
