Do you mean that you cannot connect a device to the wifi from the router?
What are you trying to connect?
What happens when you try?
Is netgear16 the SSID that you are trying to connect to?
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". There may be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
If there is one it might also help if you told people the make and model number of the modem/gateway/ONT that sits between this router and the Internet. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
I ask because a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.By the way, the WNDR3700 dates back to 2009, with technology from that era. Nothing wrong with that, but don't expect wifi heaven.
