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!
Wow can't believe this router doesn't work. I'm trying to connect to my XfinityWifi hotspot. It connects but its sooooooo slow that its unusable. Tried everything (and they don't leave many settings for us to play with).
Works fine on the local network with the NAS I just bought.
I bought this because I needed the LAN port for the NAS.
I was using the amazing HooToo Tripmate Nano. It works awesome, especially for this AP hotspot mapping (hotels, Xfinity WifiHotSpot). Has a great USB "nas". The web-page interface is instantaneous fast. Runs off almost no power from a USB port. Almost matchbook sized.
This Trek is 4X as big and doesn't work for what I want.
Netgear folks, just go buy a HooToo and copy it exactly, then add on the LAN port.
Hoping this gets fixed quick or it's going back to Amazon and I'll just grab one of those TP-nano's. Sadly, it doesn't have a USB "nas" so then I'll have to carry two routers. The hope with this one was to only have one. But the Tp-nano and the Tripmate nano will be smaller than the Trek anyway.
