Configure WNDR4300 as base and WNDR3700v3 as access point to create a bridge
I am trying to create a wireless bridge to connect ethernet components in one part of my home to the internet. The intenert connection comes through a cable modem connected to my wireless router WNDR4300. I want to re-purpose a WNDR3700v3 to bring the internet access to devices which do not have wireless capability (DVD Player and Roku) but have ethernet ports. I followed the instructions for each of the routers (different), but I must have missed or done something wrong, because it didn't work. Can someone help? Thanks.

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, AllenSolvedConfigure route to be in the same LAN (N600 WNDR3700)
Hi, I have a Gateway router A (ProSafe (FVS336G) and a wireless router B (WNDR3700). My network topology is: (WAN IP: 10.xxx.xx.xxx) A (LAN IP: 192.168.1.xxx) <---> (WAN IP: 192.168.1.xxx) B (LAN IP: 10.0.0.xxx) <---> wireless device (IP: 10.0.0.xxx) The firmware on router B is V1.0.7.98NA. Current topology works. Every device has access to the internet. However, I need to stream data or remotely log in from device (whose IP address is 192.168.1.xxx) to device connected to router B. Now it's hard to achieve this (if possible) because wireless device is behind the router B. I am a newbie in these internet protocal stuff. I did some research online and think my option is to disable the DHCP service on B and make it an access point. However, when I go to the LAN setting pages of router B, and try to write the LAN IP as 192.168.1.xxx or try to uncheck "Use router as DHCP server", it reports conflict with WAN subnet IP. I understand it's obvious that on router B, I am setting its LAN IP in the same subnet as its WAN IP, which it's rediculous. But why unchecking the DHCP and make it an access point also doesn't work? I also saw people mentioned in other posts that the issue is using B as a DNS server. They disabled it and it works. But I don't know how to do this. I am not sure how to achieve my goal now. That is, making the ip address of every wireless device as 192.168.1.xxx, remaining in the same subnet of devices connected to A. I sincerely appreciate any suggestions!

I have to admit, this is my first time trying to extend my wireless range, and I'm confused by the whole access point concept. It seems like what I really want is a repeater, but that mode isn't available on the 4300v2. I have two 4300v2 units. One is set as a normal wifi router. I want to setup a second 4300v2 to extend the range of this "base" router. Ideally, I want the wifi SSID and passcode to be the same between the two wifi units. So the wireless client can move seamlessly between the two without having to make new connections. When I follow the instructions to set the second unit as an Access Point, it gets assigned an IP from the original router as 10.0.0.1. I then take the access point and move it away from the original router. Just within wireless range of the original router. I don't connect anything to the WAN port of the AP. My wifi client has good signal from the AP, but is unable to obtain an IP address. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!Solved4.1KViews0likes3CommentsConfiguring 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?Solved
