Trek PR2000 DHCP-problems, keeps dropping connections, maybe workaround
Hi! Some days ago I bought the new Netgear Trek PR2000 mobile wireless router. Purpose was to have an AP for all my devices while traveling and being able to connect them to a hotspot or hotel wifi...
hksteve I would like to inform you that the fix is now available in our download page.
Feel free to update your firmware and provide feedback.
Thanks!
I just realized what was happening with my Trek after reading this thread. Any chance I can get a test/beta firmware to try out? Here's my application:
I have a fleet of wireless temperature sensors that report via WiFi, and I want to use them with this router. The way these sensors work is that they connect once per minute and send their data, then disconnect. I was confused as to why the router would keep rebooting when I had devices pointing to it, but remain on when nothing was connected - this issue is obviouly the disconnections causing a reboot.
I'd like to deploy these sensors soon, so getting all these routers I bought working is a priority. Alternatively, if anyone can suggest a similar router that is able to to DHCP, that would be ideal. The TP-Link models don't do that, so I can't use them.
Hi HaxNobody
Kindly PM me your network setup and description of the problem as to when it happens.
What's the current mode you're using with the PR2000?
Is it Wired or Wireless? This is the toggle switch available on the side of the router.
Also, what is the brand/model of that sensor devices you have?
Let me know and I'll verify with our engineering department if the test firmware is applicable to you.
