how to get the WN200RPT to actually work?
Hey guys,
not sure if anyone can help but here we go.
I have been recently trying to get the WN200RPT to actually work but on the computer we want to get the connection to keeps on coming up with IP Address Conflict and basically not working.
If you guys need extra details currently working a Belkin 150 router and of course the WN200RPT.
Thanks for the help, in advance!

- jmizoguchiVirtuosomake sure PC is using "obtain automatically" for IPv4 setting the network adapter properties.
- MoodySparkAspirantyup we've done that and it still won't work it's there it connects just won't connect to the internet, at all it will only do that when it's close to the router
- jmizoguchiVirtuosoboth ip conflicts and no internet or just internet and ip conflicts is gone?
- MoodySparkAspirantwe still have IP conflicts and none of the IP address match, i've checked them all. The Computer we are trying to connect it to connects to the extender but it doesn't connect to the actual internet itself, I've rung NetGear themselves about 5 times and they seemed like lost hopeless bunnies.
I wonder if it's just the case of switching off the DHCP Server on the extender using that hidden link thing, I just don't know I am completely at a loss - MoodySparkAspirantStill having problems, managed to fix it for a short time but then it crashes after three days! Nothing to do with the Router I've checked it.
- grumpypumpyAspirantHi, been in the same boat myself.
Connected via cable from extender to laptop. Dowloaded latest firmware 2 files and upgraded both .
Since then happy bunny all the problems have dissappeared and extender now doing the job I wanted it for.
