My router issues the message sending OFFER to IP-address
Every second my router issues the message "08/21/2015 13:43:22 sending OFFER to 192.168.2.2". That IP-address used to belong to my Netgear WN3000RP repeater, which I do not use anymore. Can someone ...
The setup for the WN3000RP is through a web browser or WPS, and does not require any software to be installed on the PC.
There is however NETGEAR Genie, which is optional software that can monitor settings for NETGEAR products.
Someone from the KPN Helpdesk (the supplier of the Experia Box V8) told me he believes the message is the result from some software on my desktop PC. That sounds logical.
I checked the register and my drives for the words "netgear", "wn3000", and the IP-address but found nothing. I regularly use ccleaner.
Can someone please inform me what kind of settings are set in Windows 7 when a Netgear WN3000RP is installed?
