Nighthawk Rs200 - no WIFI after Reboot - Internet via LAN ok
Hi all the problem is at a Nighthawk RS200 - The configuration iwth my provider here in Luxembourg worked fine. VLAN TAG - is used here for orange.lu now.... some fine tuning has been done and i...
The problem seems to have been solved.
After a 2-hour phone call with the English-speaking support team, the problem disappeared (although this was probably a coincidence after a factory reset). The router probably assigned the IPs randomly so that there was no longer a conflict. As I have now been able to find out, it was most likely an IP conflict in the WLAN as both static and dynamic IPs are assigned in my network. However, the DHCP assignment referred to the entire address range. This most likely led to the said conflict - which then “deactivated” the WLAN - this also happened to me with competitor products. Furthermore, there was another 2 router in the network which was also configured as a router instead of an AP - but with DHCP..... switched off.
Please close the case 48659368.

Your ISP router already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.

Try option #2 first...

Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
