New to the forum. Have had really good luck with streaming off my Netgear Centria in the past but my family has switched to a new setup.
We recently got an upgrade in service from Time Warner and in doing so, received a cable modem that has built in AC Wifi. We are using that exclusively for internet.
Unfortunately, that hosed our network attached storage because we are no longer using centria as a wifi router for internet.
My question is: Is there a way to setup Centria to be used as a stand-alone NAS Router without being connected to the internet. So far, I can connect via windows wifi but I get the "limited" exclamation point and cannot login into routerlogin.net.
I have a 2TB drive in the Centria and would just like to use as a stand alone NAS.
Change the LAN IP of the Centria and make it in the same range as the main router
Configure the wireless settings (just in case you still need to use the wireless portion)
Disable DHCP
Connect the main router to one of the LAN ports on the Centria
Once you have done the following, see if you can access the attached storage.
Hey Elaine,
I appreciate the input.
Sorry I was unclear.
This Centria will be a stand-alone wi-fi router that will not be connected to a main router and not be connected to the internet
The Centria's sole purpose will be to broadcast streaming media to locations throughout our home [WDTV pull].
This had worked fine in the past when connected to our cable modem and acting as broadcast for both NAS files and internet, however, without an internet connection, I am unable to access files and cannot even login to router settings.
