Cannot access wifi using other access points
WNDR4500v3 with firmware V1.0.0. I32
I purchased this router on dec 25 2015 to replace a dead linksys router.
The router feeds a 16 point switch from one of 4 ports.
I have one win 7 pc connected to one of the routers other 3 ports.
Then an VoIP connected to the 3 port of the router.
I have 2 other wireless access points connected to the 16 port switch.
One feeds a remote building by a wired connection to firset access point
The other access point is also feed by a wired connection.
The old linksys router had done this for 4 years.
As I said I purchased this router as an replacement... but since its worthless and the two wireless access point have not internet connection.
So either I get it working or its going back for a refund in 24 hours.
Figured it out it was windows network and sharing manager marking the connection as unknown.
In advanved sharing setting I had to change to use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers
Then all the problems went away.
No more dropping connection and having no internet connection.
