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...

I have the same problems and very disappointed that this device doesn't handle such basic and essential functionality. How can a router be sold if it can't handle the simple of act of connecting and disconnecting devices?
My PR2000 is connected to wireless internet that I have to purchase from the apartment I'm renting. I have 2 laptops connected via wire and 2 Android devices.
It is frustrating to see all my devices disconnect from the internet if I turn off/reboot a laptop or connect my phone to the wifi when I get home. The router logs simply say that internet was disconnected at that point in time.
Found this thread and see that this issue has been around for over a year and nothing has been done about it. Should I keep holding my breath Netgear?

jcnguyens I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Kindly register your device in order to create a case number for you.
By the way, what's the operating systems of the laptop?
What's the mode being used on the PR2000?

I'm running Windows 10 and the router is set to wireless mode as I have both laptops connected by wire.
Also in the past I was running one laptop on wire and the other wireless and the problem still occurred.
