only 3 devices can connect to my WNR2000 V5
Hi,
I was wandering whether I can change any setups enabling me to connect other devices to the router. For now just 3 Ip addresses (for 1 laptop and two smartphones) can be given by the router and when I try to connect another laptop, I get the error that IP conguration is not valid.
Thank you in advance:)

If the WNR2000v5 is in "access point mode", then there is some other
router which is acting as your DHCP server, and you may need to look at
that.

Which question? Copy+paste is your friend.
At what, exactly, are you pointing your web browser to get to these
settings?
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Rear Panel". Do you
see the (yellow) "Internet Port"? To what is it connected?
You might also want to look in that manual for "Use the Router as a
Wireless Access Point".

Is the problem with the fourth client device or with this particular
(unspecified) "another laptop"?
In the management web site, what are the DHCP pool address limits
(ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup : Starting/Ending IP Address)?Hi,
- The problem is for the fourth client. I can even change the laptops, which ever turns on first gets the IP and the other one will have no access to the internet.
- At the setting I can only see that DHCP mode is on. I cannot go through LAN setting since it's deactivated as you may kindly see in attache pic.

Where can you see that? How, exactly, are you getting to the
settings?

It would help to see the whole web page instead of only a small part
of it. Is the WNR2000v5 configured as a wireless access point? What's
connected to the WAN/Internet port of the WNR2000v5?
