Setting WNDR2000v2 up as Wireless Bridge
I currently have a WNDR3700 as my main router/base station and a WN802Tv2 hard-wired w/ ethernet acting as a wireless bridge (not strictly the repeater function). I just purchased a WNDR2000v2 and wo...
Thank you so much for the link, I was prepared to write back in with my success but I can't even seem to get past the first step. Going to Start->Run and typing in http://www.routerlogin.com/CA_HiddenPage.htm does not bring up anything in the browser it opens on any of my PC's (nor does going to http://192.168.1.1/CA_HiddenPage.htm). I tried inputting both urls directly into my browser and still no go. If I drop the CA_HiddenPage.htm it still takes me to the GUI for my WNDR3700. I then plugged the WNR2000v2 directly into a PC, turned off that PC's Wifi and tried to navigate to 192.168.1.1 and still no dice.
If I plug an ethernet cable into the router (I know the instructions specifically dictate i not do this, but I'm trying ANYTHING at this point). I can see an unlocked NETGEAR SSID in my local wifi networks but when I connect to it and then navigate to both url's (192.168.1.1 and routerlogin.com and both with the "hidden-page" extensions) I STILL can't access the GUI.
And now after I've unplugged everything from the WNR2000v2 and try to get back into the 192.168.1.1 it brings up the website layout of the gui but all the panes are filled with one line: "This tool is being controlled by 192.168.1.23". This happens to be the first open IP address in my network (192.168.1.1-22 are all statically assigned to various devices). I refreshed, then the site makes me input my username and password two times and then the browser says the website might be temporarily down or permanently moved location. I get this error for about 10 minutes before everything is back to normal.
Obviously this is all due to the WNR2000v2 occupying the same internal IP address as my WNDR3700, an issue the first line of that documentation you linked to is obviously meant to address but I just can't seem to fix it. I know this much be a trivial issue that has been answered 1000 times before but I just can't seem to find it on here. any additional help to simply change the IP address of my WNR2000v2 would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks again!
