WNDR3800 firmware bugs/mess??
Hi, The router starts off with no WLAN signals. So the 2.4GHz en 5GHz signals are off. After logging into the router (routerlogin.net in browser (IE, Opera, Mozilla) ) I then try to switch on th...
Hardware: router WNDR3800 / firmware: v1.0.0.18
Windows XP SP3
I downloaded to my computer HD both versions of the firmware, that is v10016 (which was the original version when I bought the router) and v10018. From my HD I reinstalled v10016 and that worked more or less as before when I bought the router, except for the WPS problem which I will come back to at the end of message.
I then reinstalled v10018 from my HD and that works now better than before, that is to say, it behaves like the reinstalled v10016.
Now I noticed there is another problem, this time with WPS. When I bought the router the WPS Led indicator (underneath the WPS button on the front panel of the router) was always off. Now it switches on when I enable the /Enable Wireless Router Radio/ button under the 2.4GHz pane as well as under the 5GHz pane. I don't want that, for safety reasons I would like to disable the WPS facility in the NetGear Genie but I don't know how; I haven't found any tick-box called /Enable WPS/, or something similar.
Furthermore, I would like to communicate with the developers working on the WNDR3800 firmware. With NetGear Genie I've experienced lots of strange things and I really would like to communicate with the firmware folks directly, that is via email or this forum; can that be done??
