Brennan BB1 cannot see my SSID
My router works fine and items like phones and tablets can connect to it. Recently I purchased a Brennan BB1 but when I try to connect this item it cannot see my SSID when it scans for available netw...
Success! I have connected my 'old' modem and the Brennan connects immediately and works as it should. Back to the 'new' modem and it is not seen. At last I know the Brennan is not at fault. Next experiment is to use both modems together. I cannot see why that won't work, so will try it. An adaptor cable is its way and that will be another thing to try, but it won't be wireless.

I can.
Two routers on your network can cause headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.
