WNR200v0v5 installation problem
Hey Community, I tried to install my new N300 WLAN Router (Model: WNR2000v5) according to the user installation guide unsucessfully. Every time I try to Log in at www.routerlogin.net it shows follow...
Hey antinode and michelkenword, thank you very much for your effort and your quick answers!! I reseted the router again now and set up the configurations manually. In an other Forum I read that I have to use static IP adresses because of the "ancient" motorola modem, so I used them. and it worked!!! Yeah!!!!
Thank you for your help!
You could try it, but I would not be optimistic. I am not familiar with that type of "VoIP" modem, but they do seem to cause mpore than their fair share of headaches.
If that fails, then I would investigate why the router does not work in AP mode. It should.
You might get better advice in a forum where they have a few more experts on the Motorola SBV4200E. It will not be a Netgear issue so much as one of getting any router to work with the modem.
This looks like being a pretty ancient modem, the manual discusses Windows 98, so there should be plenty of experience out there.

Excellent news. Good detective work. And thanks for marking it as "solved". It could help someone who turns up with the same problem.

Apparently, that's a modem+router, so access-point mode may be more
appropriate for the WNR2000v5 when connected to an SBV4200.

An actual link might be more informative than "an other Forum". All
I know (at most) is what I read in the "SURFboard SBV4200 VoIP Cable
Modem User Guide", but that suggests that the SBV4200 should have a
working DHCP server. Which static IP adresses did you assign to what?

What kind of "Didn't work" was that? "www.routerlogin.net" is
supposed to be your own router, so you don't need Internet access for it
to work. However, when you make the WNR2000v5 an access point, it can't
be the DNS server, and, as explained before, "www.routerlogin.net" works
only if the WNR2000v5 is your DNS server.
Similarly, how did you determine that "No Internet connection
anymore"?
At "The next step was about the IP Adress", what did you do? The
address which you supply there is probably the one which you'd need to
use to get to the WNR2000v5 web site. (And you'd need to use an
address, because "www.routerlogin.net" won't work when the WNR2000v5 is
in access-point mode.)
You can cascade one router after another, but that can cause problems
("double NAT") when you need to make an incoming connection (required by
some games, I gather). Which is why making the WNR2000v5 an access
point (rather than a full-function router) would normally be preferred
in such a situation, unless the SBV4200 really is so lame that it can't
be made to work that way. But that's not yet clear.
