DHCP IP address conflict using Wnr2200 as wireless access point in a Windows network
Hi everibody, I'm using a WNR2200 router only as a wi-fi access point to our lan, which has already a DHCP server. The lan DHCP server is excluding some address in a range (e.g. from .50 to .100) since these addresses are used by some server to give them a static IP in our lan. WNR2200 too has its lan address in that range. DHCP server in WNR2200 is disabled, so any device wi-fi connected should use the lan DHCP server, but in the last days some wireless attached device has an IP in that excluded range (e.g. a smartphone connects and gets the .74 IP), so sometimes we have an IP conflict. We haven't changed anything both in the WNR2200 configuration and in the DHCP server configuration, but this wrong ip assignment is still happening also after a server and /or WNR2200 reboot. How may I prevent the WNR2200 access point to assign a "forbidden" IP to a wi fi connected device? Thank you in advance for your help.SolvedCannot connect with VPN server (PPTP protocol) through Netgear R6400 - error 806
Hi. I recently switched from an old TPLink router and bought a Netgear R6400 wifi router with hopes to boost my home wifi performance. Before that I easily could connect through my work VPN connection over PPTP. After switching to Netgear I have all the time error 806 (no support for GRE protocol). I read some info about that and decided to set up the port forwarding: I choose my laptop IP address and set external and internal ports on 1723. I also checked on the Respond to Ping on Internet Port. Later on I also set up the Default DMZ Server on my laptop IP address. Still - I cannot connect with my VPN connection that was working previously and I know it works fine in different enviroment. Beside that - I have in my office all setups on DHCP and working on static IP isn`t the best solution either. Right now I`m wondering what I`m doing wrong? Or maybe I should be dissapointed with Netgear for not supporting typical VPN pass-through? Please help and point me some directions. My current firmware is: V1.0.1.22_1.0.17Solved
