28 TopicsCan't Access Router Login Page--Router in Access Point Mode
I've set my router up in Access Point mode (so that I can connect it to a wifi cable modem whose wifi has broken). Now I can't get to my WNDR3700v4 router login page. I've tried doing it over wife and by connecting ethernet cable straight from my computer to my WNDR3700v4. www.routerlogin.net doesn't work, nor www.routerlogin.com. No luck with 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.15, (http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1. I've seen a few postings like this on the forum...but no solution. Help please? Thanks, AllenSolvedBest wired access point
I am setting up a new network in a home fully wired with Cat 6. I will be using a Netgear C7000-100NAS as the cable modem and wifi. However, the signal on the other side of the house is not as strong as I would like. I would like to find an access point to plug into the wired network on the other side of the house to provide strong comprehensive coverage, including the pool/patio area. All I can find are Netgear's prosafe line of APs, which are business class and probably overkill for me. Does any one have any suggestions? Other brands I should consider? Thanks.Solved24KViews0likes4CommentsConfiguring R6200v2 as Access Point and allow LAN connection to Internet
I have a Netgear R6200v2 connected to my DGND3700v2 DSL modem/router. I have a Cisco 881 router connecting to the R6200v2 providing VPN access to work. - DGND3700v2 LAN port cabled to R6200v2 Internet port - R6200v2 LAN port cabled to Cisco 881 FE WAN port With the factory default settings the Cisco router connects to work. But as soon as I configure the R6200 as an Access Point the LAN ports can't access the internet, and my VPN fails. How can I configure the R6200 to both be an AP, and still be able to use the LAN ports for the Cisco router?SolvedCan Orbi be put into bridged mode?
Hey All, I currently have Netgear Nighthawk X8 Wireless Router with 5 x eeros (set to bridged mode - to avoid double NAT - so essentialy they act as wireless access points). I have it setup this way because of the link aggregation offered by the Nighthawk X8 - my NAS is plugged directly into it using a ethernet bond. So until these mesh technologies create a router that supports link aggregation / bonds I need to keep using my Nighthawk X8 + some sort of mesh to cover my house and workshop. Details - I am trying to cover about 4000sqft + house features are preventing line of sight and also have a tendency to degrate a wifi signal (i.e. my office is almost a faraday cage; when it was built it was covered in the radient barrior stuff to keep heat or cool in - this creates a crazy effect where wifi signals are "blocked" in an out - good for security bad for wifi ;). I have run hard lines to solve that problem - but wireless devices are still impacted. So here's the challange: eero setup works great because it allows me to set the primary node to bridged (good) and allows my Netgear to hand out IPs and it has a few parental features that are disabled because of it and I need about 5 nodes to cover my area (bad) Luma has good parental features (good) but does not support a bridged mode so I cant use ling aggregation on my Nighthawk X8 and I would need about 4-5 nodes to cover me (bad) Orbi seems to have the coverage thing licked (though I have never used one -yet) and I cannot find any information on parental controls or if the router can be made into an access point, i.e. bridged mode. So my questions are: Can the Orbi be put into bridged mode so that I can continue using my Nighthawk with link aggregation for my NAS Is there a better way to set up my network? Like putting the Nighthawk into AP mode - I think I ran into issues with that with the eero because I could not change the default gateway so I effectively had 2 networks 192.168.1.x and 192.168.0.x (bad) Any help / thougths would be appriciated! Thanks!SolvedCome posso trasformare il modem router N600 DGND3700v2 in access point?
Buongiorno, io sono appena passato a fibra a casa e con il vecchio modem netgear volevo ampliare il segnale wifi del nuovo modem del che mi ha consegnato il gestore telefonico. Io possiedo il modem router N600 DGND3700v2 e pensavo di convertirlo in access point in modo da ricevere il segnale wifi trasmesso dall'altro modem e ampliarlo al resto della casa (o tramite wifi oppure ethernet, meglio se con wifi però nel caso non si potesse va bene anche via ethernet). Il problema è che non riesco a farlo. Qualche consiglio? Grazie in anticipo. Luca13KViews0likes10CommentsDGN2200v4 (N300) come Access Point: problemi di connessione internet della sola rete guest
Buongiorno, ho un DGN2200v4 che fino a tre giorni fa ho utilizzato con soddisfazione come modem/router per una linea ADSL. L'altro ieri mi è stata intellata la fibra TIM ed il mio gateway è diventato lo Smart Modem fornitomi da TIM, allora ho deciso di riutilizzare il DGN2200v4 come Access Point. Dopo alcune vicissitudini sono riuscito a configurare il DGN2200v4 come AP e riesco a collegarmi ad esso via WiFi e anche tramite cavo ethernet con tutti i dispositivi che ho provato ed ho una perfetta connessione internet. Se però attivo sul DGN2200v4 anche la rete WiFi ospite o guest che dir si voglia allora nasce il problema: di nuovo mi collego perfettamente al DGN2200v4 tramite WiFi (guest) con ogni dispositivo, ma poi mi risulta internet non disponibile. Le impostazioni della rete guest sono le seguenti: Attiva rete guest ON (ovviamente...) Attiva trasmissione SSID ON (e infatti vedo la rete guest col nome che le ho assegnato) Consenti al guest di accedere alla rete locale ON però in realtà la casella di spunta è in grigio cioè non selezionabile e non ho trovato alcun modo per modificarla (volendo fare delle prove) Attivazione dell'isolamento wireless OFF (ho provato anche a settarla su ON, ovvero a mettere la spunta alla casella, ma il problema della mancata connessione internet dell sola WiFi guest è rimasto inalterato). la protezione è WPA2-PSK [AES], la stessa della rete WiFi "normale" del DGN2200v4, per la quale ho ancora ON la trasmissione SSID e ancora OFF l'isolamento wireless. Ovviamente ho attivato anche le reti WiFi del nuovo Smart Modem, due "normali" a 2.4 e 5.0 GHz e la sua rete guest alla quale ho dato un SSID diverso da quello della rete guest dell'AP DGN2200v4, e tutte funzionano perfettamente con connessione a internet ottima. L'unico problema è quindi l'accesso a internet collegandomi alla rete WiFi guest del DGN2200v4 usato come Access Point; quando lo usavo come gateway avendolo nello scantinato solitamente non attivavo la rete guest, ma mi pare comunque di ricordare che tale rete funzionasse e in quel caso consentisse l'accesso ad internet. Qualcuno sa spiegarmi il perché di questo problema? Cosa differenzia la rete "normale" dell'AP DGN2200v4 (che ha l'accesso a internet) dalla rete guest dello stesso AP (per la quale internet risulta non disponibile)? Può centrare la spunta della casella "Consenti al guest di accedere alla rete locale"? Ma in tal caso come è possibile modificare tale spunta visto che la casella non risulta selezionabile? Grazie dell'attenzioneSolved11KViews0likes5CommentsBridging vs. access point
Hello all, I have a new Nighthawk ac1750 router (6700 I believe). I would like to add it to my existing wireless network (a tp-link router). I can either connect it to the existing router wirelessly or with cat6 (obviously wirelessly would be easier). I am hoping that the Nighthawk will be able to connect to devices wirelessly and hard wired. Looking through the literatureit looks like bridging is not an option, but I am not sure if using it as an access point will allow me to have both wired and wireless clients working through it. Is there another configuration or trick that will let me do what I want to do? Will either of these options negitively impact the transfer of data between the main router and the Nighthawk? Thanks! AndySolved9.8KViews0likes2CommentsWill Orbi Satellite work with existing Netgear Nighthawk X8 router?
I recently purchased a Nighthawk X8 router, so I don't need an extra router. My X8 is placed in the center room of our house. Our home built in 1926, is 3,000sq' it has older plaster walls & the wi-fi reception barely reaches through more than 1 wall. Wireless repeaters didn't seem to work, nor the powerline extenders, so I just had someone hardwire a Netgear AC1200 in order to have wi-fi in the family room. Seems to work great but the signal drops near the rear of the house, so I'm thinking to either hardwire another extender as an additional access point, but I would like to have a single mesh network, which switches automatically (so we don't have to sign on to the extensions whenever we move about the house with a laptop) Can I create a single mesh network using the X8 & the AC1200 I just purchased? Or I see the new Orbi Satellite which looks great & has the capability of a single mesh network, but will it be compatible with my existing Netgear Nighthawk X8 router?
