Cannot connect to WNDR4500 (AKA N900)
I have a Netgear WNDR (AKA N900) Wi-Fi router. I recently removed it from service as I am using my Comcast xFinity router CGM4140COM for Wi-Fi. However, I want to use the Netgear router as a repeater...
You'd want it in access point mode or you're in a double nat.
How do I change my NETGEAR router to AP mode? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
The “Connected Devices” table on the xFinity router shows “WNDR4500” with an IP address of 10.0.0.122 but I cannot connect to it with a web browser (trying Chrome and IE) and ping times out. Curiously, the xFinity router says the MAC is 74:44:01:39:57:0B but on the case of the WNDR4500 it is shown as 74:44:01:39:57:0A (ending in "A" instead of "B")
I first used “arp -d 10.0.0.122” to delete the entry from the arp table then tried “arp -s 10.0.0.122 74-44-01-39-57-0a” to assign the MAC which the WNDR4500 thinks is correct but I get “The ARP entry addition failed: Access is denied.” even if I am running the command prompt as administrator. I also tried Powershell with the same result.
For fun I power-cycled the WNDR4500 to get it back in the arp cache but the reassign command still gives me access denied.
Any ideas?
