N300 trek pr2000 can not get any connections at all. Need simple help to set up
Hello, I'm pretty computer and networking savvy, have set up all sorts of networks and home routers and wifi in the past with no problems. Got this Netgear Trek N300 PR2000 as a present thinking I could connect at a hotel with wifi for only one login to their wifi, then connect several other devices, either wirelessly, or through the ethernet port. Seems like it should be simple, so I must be missing something. Instructions aren't clear or I don't follow the terminology properly. I think I should be able to plug this into the wall, switch to wired setting, vs. wireless. Then connect my computer via the ethernet LAN port and get an IP address so I can access the built in webserver for more setup. I can NOT get an ip address. Tried the wired option and plugged into both internet and LAN port, and same for wireless. Can not get an IP address (Windows 7 Pro). I've done the reset via the button several times (holding for more than 10 seconds). I was even given another one of these from a friend who couldn't get it to work and same thing, essentially nothing. What am I missing? Thanks, RichSolved5.8KViews0likes14Comments
