WNDR3700 as wireless access point?
I have a Netgear WNDR3700. As there is no v1, v2, v3 after the model, I am assuming it is a v1 - am I correct in that assumption? It has firmware version 1.0.7.98NA (looks like the original or earl...
Well, got everything up and running but the router has a problem on the 2.4GHz band - weak, almost non-existen broadcast power. I was going to keep it and just use the 5GHz band but then decided to toss it and get one that works. Yea, Craigslist (not)!
Thanks.
I de-selected DHCP on the configuration page for the WNDR3700. It does not say "DHCP Client".
I've been trying to think how I could explain this better. I'm thinking that I can provide screenshots of the different configuration screens to ensure I am doing it correctly. And it would be a good record for anyone else that tries this same in-home wifi configuration. I'll try to complete it this weekend.
My main problem remains: When I enter the reserved IP address - 10.100.10.125 in this case - I still canNOT get back into the WNDR3700 without pushing the factory reset button... Any more thoughts?
Well, your laptop isn't getting an IP address from the WNDR3700 when its hard-wired to it.
Did you try "routerlogin.net"?
Do you have the latest firmware?
Have you tried leaving DHCP on (wndr3700)?
Thank you for your help!
I haven't had to a chance to get pictures yet...
"your laptop isn't getting an IP" But...I can access the router after I reset it...
Did you try "routerlogin.net"? Yes
Do you have the latest firmware? Yes
Have you tried leaving DHCP on (wndr3700)? No. I set a reserved IP on it. I added the gateway, but no DNS. I figured all was well. Guess it isn't, cuz I'm asking for help...
I have progressed a bit...
After I modified the wireless adapter, putting in the reserved IP. I turned on wifi on my laptop and it connected. I would like to know if I erred somewhere. I believe these are the important screens:
If you don't see any errors, I'll move it to the front of the house and try to connect a couple of different ways.
I do appreciate your help. I know it takes time...
It's been in the front of the house for several days. No luck. The connection keeps dropping.
Any thoughts folks?
An additional question: How can you tell if your laptop, etc. received its connection from the AP?
