WNDR3400v3 - wireless does not work
Bought in August 2015. Now after 90 days Was working fine until two days ago.
It works when I hook up the ethernet cable so it is not the internet connection.
I tried going into control pane...
The PC network adaptor deals with the LAN (wired) connection. Something else usually handles the wifi. Or is this network adaptor the wifi card in your PC?
One way to deal with driver issues is to remove all of the drivers in Device Manager, reboot the PC and let it find the drivers afresh.
Another option, have you visited the motherboard maker's website for new "chipset" drivers. These don't always show up in Windows update.
Then again, I am not sure what problem you are trying to solve.
The PC's wifi behaviour, and its drivers, will have no effect on the interaction between the WNDR3400 and a laptop.
Can you get at the web interface for the WNDR3400v3 using the LAN? If so, that should let you get into the WNDR3400 so that you can investigate the wifi settings.

I will next try deleting the driver. Also, I have another computer that shows connected to netgear but I cannot connect to the internet. Microsoft indicates that another computer is using the same IP address. How do I change the IP address for that compter
Did not work. Will have to delete the driver if you think that deletion will work. Upgrade does not work
Decided to go to web and search for my Realtek driver. Found it and downloaded the new driver, which fixed the driver problem. Then I was able to see the wireless network.
Still could not connect, but removed access control and went into genie. Finally able to connect.
Thanks for all your help. After 35 years, sometimes I manage to find a solution
Would still like to set up my other computer. It works outside of my home but I can not connect to the internet without the wire.
Thank you for the update!
Good to hear that you're connected now.
Have a great day!
