Netgear WN604 Access point install

Hello all!

 

I have a wifi home network setup. My PC is physically connected to the router, however all other systems connect via wifi.

My hous is large and L shaped. The master bedroon is on the far side of the L and the eouter is in the middle..

However, wifi signal is not the greatest, and I have even tried using a plug in extender, with not much success.

I am now also using ROKU in the bedroom, and it is connected to wifi, service is slow...

I have run a CAT5 cable from the router through the attic to the bedroom..

I want to connect the CATS5 from the router to the access point, and the ROKU to the access point with cable).

Then I would like to access my home wifi thru the access point....

I am trying to follow the install directions, but I have only got to the part where I connect the access point to my PC, and then power up the

access point. I then open browser and type HTTP://192.168.0.100

But I get: This webpage is not available...

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi ESA1178,

 

Were you able to set a static IP on your PC then connect an ethernet from WN604 to your computer?

For static IP: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27476/~/how-to-set-static-ip-address-on-computer%3F

See page 12 of 70 on the manual: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WN604/WN604_UM_15July2013.pdf
