I got that Netgear WPN834 (sp?) MimoG router today.
I've put a USB cable from the old router to the main PC. Then an ethernet from 'old router' into the new router.
I thought this would work. After messing around with it, sometimes I would get no connection in the office comp (even though all lights were on on the old router...). ONCE I got the wireless working here (connecting to Netgear I mean).
Now the office is working, but my wireless only works if I connect to the old router. If I connect to the new router, I get a DNS/server cannot be found error.
Another thing annoying me is that the signal from the new router is only SLIGHTLY better than from the old router...that has two bars, the old one has one.
I've tried practically every configuration (I think) but can't get it to work. I've also tried Ethernet from the old router to the Netgear and then an Ethernet from the office comp to the Netgear but that didn't work.
Also, I can't access the router's config page. I tried 192.168.0.1 but it timed out. Once when I was in the old router's setup (192.168.1.1) I went into Remote Access and it asked me to login to the Netgear router. Which I did but then I got a 404 error.
Furthermore, there is no password on the Netgear network. And I can't get onto the setup page to set one. So can anyone help me? Give me a step-by-step guide?
FYI this is only an 'access point' router without ADSL. The old router is what the ADSL line goes through.
Help please
this is really frustrating!
