Can't connect to NVX..a little desperate!!
Ever since i rearranged some of my network gear, the readynas doesn't allow us to connect to it. i also can't get to it in frontview, even though we are using the correct ip address. i just have...
Yes. If the WAN port was used with the normal router config you would have seen more connectivity issues than speed problems. For instance, a device connected to the WNR might be able to reach other devices on the network, but they would not be able to reach it.
Though routing through the WAN port is slower than switching, so there would be some loss there also.
If the WAN port was connected to a local device (not the upstream router/switch) then that device probably wouldn't have any connectivity.
Some Netgear routers can be configured as access points. In that scenario, you would get full connectivity but you would see a speed loss between the WAN port and the others. I am not seeing that option in the WNR3500 manual though.
