Can anyone help me I looked over the internet for solutions and nothing.
I have a WG602 AP, I wanted to connect it to my SKY HD box to connect to their on demand service, but I cannot configure the WG602 to get it connected to my BT Router.
Here are the settings if anyone can spot the mistake. I have a WG602v2 firmware 3.2rc6
IP Settings:- Access Point Name: Left as the default Netgear name IP address DHCP Client: at moment on Enable when i tried on disable and enter a 192.168.1.(then number) it disconnects me and i cant get back in settings. so its default 192.168.0.227 (greyed out with enable on DHCP) IP subnet 255.255.255.0 (greyed out with enable on DHCP) gateway default 0.0.0.0 (greyed out with enable on DHCP)
Spanning Tree - enable
Wireless Settings Menu:- Network Name SSID - i put the SSID of the bt router SSID broadcast on country - europe Channel - same as bt router mode g and b data rate best
Security settings menu:- Security type - WEP Authication - Auto Strength 64 bit Security Encryption Key Passphase - i put the wireless key and generate keys (I also tried putting the wireless key in Key one box)
Access control menu - Access Control - Allow i put in mac address of the router
wireless settings menu:- Left all as default RTS 2347 Frag Length 2346 Beacon Interval 100ms DTM - 1 Preamble - Mix
Wireless Bridging Menu:- I have tried bridge to bridge and multi point bridging at moment i have on multipoint I put in the MAC address o the router and says strength 96% when i put in the MAC address of the netgear router says NA 0%
that is all the settings on there, but it doesnt connect to the internet/router.
I can't tell you about the BT device part but I think your netgear wn602 needs to be in bridge to bridge mode, not bridge to multipoint bridge. The latter seems to be for use a "wireless repeater" i.e. allow multiple wireless devices to connect to the wn602 and access (bridge to) an existing wireless (& wired) network (e.g. to bridge to a network running from a separate wireless router).
It is possible the problem is your BT home hub device. I don't know if this can be bridged or not. Presumably you've tried doing some google searches on this.
How to do bridging in order to connect a device with a lan port via the wn602 and wn604 does not seem to be explained well in the netgear manuals. I have set up a few different wireless routers before but never done bridging. The manual does not give me confidence that I could do this.
I have a netgear dgn2200 router. I'd like to buy a wn602 or wn604 in orde to bridge my blu-ray player to my network but I am not confident of getting this to work. I will start a new thread for this and hope I get more response than you did.
