LAN passthough on Netgear PR2000 (Trek N300)

How do I enable my Netgear device to allow my existing LAN to be passed through to all connected devices - that is the Netgear to be transparent to all connected devices?   I have Netgear Trek N300...

Hello Edwarduk

 

In the PR2000 have you gone to the WAN settings and unchecked the DHCP box?

Hi DarrenM

 

Thanks for responding to my post.  Much appreciated.

 

Yep, as mentioned, when I disable DHCP on the PR2000 it 'falls over'.  Specifically I get zero connection. 

 

I don't know what my next steps are now - other than simply to bin the PR2000.

 

cheers

Edward

    Do you have the latest firmware 1.0.0.15?

      I believe so.  I will check in the morning and confirm.  Assuming I do what would my next steps be please?

       

      thanks

        Hello Edwarduk

         

        I was looking in the PR2000 settings and at the top of the Internet setup settings page there is a enable ap mode check box have you tried that?
