Access point WNDR4500 help
I am trying to configure a WNDR4500 as an access point. I tried the same thing with an RN6250 with the same results. Configuration: network 192.168.0.x gateway 192.168.0.1 This is a Servegate ro...
disable the dhcp on the wndr4500 and then assign the IP of the wndr4500 192.168.0.500 or something like that. and try it then.

That's bad advice for multiple reasons. I'd advise against taking
advice from anyone who suggests including "500" anyplace in an IPv4
address. It's not well thought-out.

It was a bad suggestion. A valid IPv4 octet can have values from
0 through 255. "500" is not close to reasonable. If you're looking for
a less sloppy set of instructions for an ad-hoc router-as-WAP
configuration scheme, then see, for example:https://community.netgear.com/t5/x/x/m-p/1463500
But I'd expect following the instructions in the User Manual, as
suggested above, to work better. Certainly better than some
sloppy/incomplete hint like that "suggeston".- Ok if you have a better suggestion then tell him instead of trying to correct.

And I have followed the netgear web page to the letter.
for both the R6250 and the WNDR4500. And while I can see the wap and connected phones, using the netscan utility from
other computers on the 192.168.0.x network, the phones do not have internet access, nor does the laptop when connected wirelessly.
Does your boss know you are as arrogant and rude as you are? Must be a "new generation" thing. I understood his quesiotns and even the intent of the help offerd by the other person. You on the ohter hand, offer only rude comments and no hepl. Put somebody on it that isn't a jerkwad and I suspect it would / could be solved in one short answer. Those of us looking a need good advice noty arrogance. YOU ARE NOT HELPING!

Ask him if you can find him.
