Cannot Use FTP Program After WNR2000v3 Install
After a week trying to figure this out, and multiple email exchanges with NETGEAR support, I'm still clueless and it's still not working. I have no idea what to do next, because I don't know what I'm...

The alternative if you can't or don't want to change the settings on the hughesnet router is to select an ip address toward the high end of the range - say 192.168.0.251 (I will explain why later).
Check.
2) Disable the DHCP server on the wireless router.
Check.
3) Connect the wireless router to the network using one of it's LAN ports - do NOT use the WAN port.
Check.
4) Configure the wireless security as desired.
Check.
Because this procedure makes no changes to the existing network, your ftp program should not be affected and should continue to work.
Nope.
With a few additional steps, this is pretty much what support told me, too. But the FTP program still won't connect. It can't be possible that I'm the only person in the whole world who can't get this to work. :-)
Let me know how things go - also - I am travelling and don't always have internet access so if there's no reply - just check back in a day or two...
I really appreciate the help. Be safe. :-)
