WNR1000v2 Connection dropping
Hi. I've had my WNR1000v2 for only a few months. It had been working fine until the past couple of weeks. I'm not very well versed on this but here is my setup. I have Comcast cable modem feed...
jm, thanks for your response. There seems to be a delay between when a post is submitted and when it appears.
I found this article on the Netgear website:

Yours is much more detailed but poses some questions.
When you say reset, are you saying factory reset or just a power reset?
In Step 5 on the first page of your link, it says to change the IP address of the AP. I assume I should give the AP a static IP of 192.168.1.99, assuming that is outside of the DHCP range of my wired router? If not, I'll need to limit the range on my WIRED router so it won't include the .99 address.
In Step 8 it says to configure the SSID. Since that has already been set up and working, there should not be an issue with that unless doing a factory reset.
I think my biggest problem was connecting my LAN to the wireless router via it's WAN connection. Not LAN. Connection.
I'll give this a try when I get home. You've been a big help. Thanks very much.
