N300 Configuration
Hi, I'm configured on an ATT Uverse DSL connection, ~20mbps, using Arris Motorolla NVG589 modem / gateway router. Various speed tests indicate the 20-30 mbps bandwidth is and has been reliable. T...
2nd reply to my own first enquirey.
After reconfiguring the extender to it's own static addressx on the router's subnet address I found and indication by another poster that the MAC addrfess on the back of the unit may not be the MAC address extended to the downstream devices connecting.
I had the router poll the devices connected and found another MAC address coming from the extender which afaics is a completely undocumented address. I added it to the router's whitelist table but same problem, extender does not connect to the router on either MAC address. Devices can connect to the extender but the extender cannot reach the router.
AFAICS this is a completely undocumented behaviour. I wish Netgear or someone that knows this unit would be good enough to at least suggest what else I might need to do since it appears Netgear doesn't provide live support to new purchase users on their devices.
Please correct me if I'm making these assessments in error. So far I have paid for something I haven't received.
Thank you,
Mike
