Upgrade Netgear C3700 to newer model
Looking to upgrade my home network. I have a Netgear C3700 it has the 2 ethernet ports on the back. Run 1 port to my OOMA and the other to my Wireless Router. Are there any newer Cable Modems or suggestions out with the 2 Ethernet Ports? I was looking at the Netgear CM700, but it does not have the dual ethernet ports. Recommendations / Help please ??
Newly purchased C3700 modem/router with existing Linksys router
Hello all, I've looked at postings and read through the manual but cannot figure out how to make this work. I had to upgrade my TW cable modem to obtain the higher speeds of my upgrade and chose this model. All of my connected devices are connected to the Linksys router with addresses:192.168.1.XXX The Linksys router is plugged directly into the C3700. all the connected devices work fine, except I cannot access externally. I have one computer that runs a home automation system and a foscam security camera. I have a Dyndns service which I have added to the C3700 but I still cannot access either. The C3700 is somehow blocking all incoming traffic. I tried port forwarding, but because the C3700 uses: 192.168.0.XXX it sees my forwarding to the Linksys router as an error. What I would really like to do is turn this in to a modem only like the TW modem and turn off the wireless. I tried going into the settings and turn off router (under administration/Router mode) and then it made the C3700 inaccessible so I had to reset it. Anyone know how I can get this to work? Thanks for your time, JohnDynamic IP Address Not Being Assigned
Discussion Room: I have a Netgear N600 Wifi Cable Modem Router (Model# C3700). During setup I go to the Advanced Settings and proceed to "Internel Setup" to configure my Internal IP Address and after choosing "Get Dynamically from ISP" I then try to save my settings with clicking "Apply." However, the following occurs: 1. The "Get Dynacially from ISP" selection remain select; HOWEVER 2. The "Use Static Address" information gets populated with IP Address, IP Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Address information. In addition, my machine maintains this same IP information and therefore I keep being assigned the same IP Address. 3. So the problem is that I can't get my router configured so that its choosing a randomly assigned IP Address. Help, what should I do and or what is the problem? Thanks, ElleUse my N600 WiFi Cable Modem Router as an extender?
I'm moving into a new place and the main house has a wifi router already there set up. I'd like to use my N600 as an access point in the cottage behind the house. Can I wirelessly connect my N600 to the router inside the house and use it to get wifi secure coverage in the cottage?N600 C3700 Wifi Speeds Slow
I have an N600 C3700 cable modem/wifi router, and I am having trouble with the speed of my wifi connection. I have Comcast Blast 150Mbps service, and my wired connection typically gets 175-180Mbps (testing with both Speedtest.net and Xfinity's speed test site). However when on wifi I typically am getting 25-30Mbps on the 2.4GHz channel and maybe up to 50Mbps on the 5GHz channel. I’ve tried on two different android phones, two ipads, and a macbook air, and all have those same slow results over wifi. Tested when within about 3 feet of the router, all the way to 20 feet away. I have run the tests dozens of times over the past several days and those results are consistent. I have checked all the settings on the router and all appear to be per Netgear recommendations. I am using WPA2-PSK [AES] security and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz are set to the “Up to 300 Mbps” mode (I understand I'm not going to get 150 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, but I think I should get it on the 5 GHz). There are no neighboring wifi signals on the channels I am using so it is not an interference issue, nor are there any other possible interference signals in my home that I am aware of. I have tried disabling the encryption and still get the same speed. This morning I did a factory reset and confirmed I’m on the latest firmware (v2.02.06) and I still have the same problem. Any guidance on how to increase the wifi speed?
N600 (C3700) Port Forwarding Struggles
Hello, I've got an N600 (C3700-100NAS) and I can't for the life of me get port forwarding to work properly. Here's the things. Whenever I map an external point to a computer running a python server on port 8000 (for example) and then check to see if the port is open on http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ it says that the port is closed. BUT, if I enable Remote Management from Netgear Genie on 8000 (or pretty much any valid port) then yougetsignal.com says that the port is indeed open. This is maddening. It seems like the router does the correct thing for remote management but not when I'm actually trying to setup port forwarding! :confused: What's even stranger is that I tried following the instructions on this guide http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1951258/easily-open-ports-port-forward-router.html ...and on the 4th attempt it so it suddenly worked. I was able to hit my local python server from an external IP. But, I can't make another working configuration that way and am hesitant to edit the one that is working. I'm really, really lost here. Can anyone help me with this? Some guidance would be greatly appreciated.
