Connect 4 Remote Computers using WAC104
I want to connect four remote computers to the WAC104 by ethernet cable and then connect the WAC104 to an existing WiFi network. I want the four remote commputers to be able to connect to other computers on the WiFi network. I've got the WAC104 set up but it is not connected to my WiFi network When I check available connections the WAC104 shows up by the default names NETGEAR_11N and NETGEAR_11AC. My WiFi network also appears. Another minor problem is that the time and date shown in settings is not correct. The date is shown as 31 Decmeber 1969.

I don't know what that means to you. Are you working from intuition,
or are you following some set of instructions or other, or what?Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get some. Read.Did you intend to make a wireless connection between the WAC104 and
some existing (unspecified) wireless router? Or did you want to use the
WAC104 as a wireless access point? Or what?

I don't know what that means to you. To what _is_ the WAC104
connected, how?> [...] When I check available connections [...]

Where "My WiFi network" means what, exactly? An SSID related to some
router or other?

the outside world, and it can't.If your intent was to be helpful, you failed.
If your intent was to be abusive, you succeeded.
In any event, there is no point in entering into a point, counter point. Let's just say that the assistance that I requested has not been provided. Let's just end this thread here.
