Connect Netgear access point to Home Hub?

Before I switched to using a Home Hub 2, I was using a Netgear router/modem (DG834G).
And I also had a Netgear WPN802 access point connected to the DG834G router/modem (via ethernet cable), and this enabled me to connect to internet using wifi from another location in my house. Just seemed to work.
But I can't seem to get this to work with the Home Hub. When the access point is plugged in to the Home Hub, it doesn't seem to show up in the Devices part of the Home Hub, and I can't connect to the access point via its default IP address (192.168.0.231). I can't see anything in the Home Hub to configure to make this work. On the access point, the ethernet light is lit, which suggests that it can "see" something on the other end of the cable (and the light goes out when I unplug the other end from the Home Hub).
Any hints?
Thanks.

You will need to change the default IP address of the Netgear WPN802 so that it is in the same subnet as the home hub.
The full details on how to do this are here http://kbserver.netgear.com/pdf/wpn_802_ref_manual.pdf
Look at page 23 and change the IP address in the Basic settings.
You could change it to 192.168.1.231 if you wish. It would still not show on the home hub because it is manually assigned. But it should work fine.
I have an additional Belkin wireless access point on my hub, which uses the address 192.168.1.200, and that works fine.

Using Netgear Access Point with Business Hub

Dear all,
I am trying to set up a wireless network and am using a BT Business Hub 3.0 as the router + wireless transmitter in one area and a Netgear WG602 v.4 Access Point in another area of my home.
The Business Hub and the Netgear are connected via wire (Ethernet cable), with the Netgears purpose being to boost/relay a wireless connection to an area of my home which the Business Hub wireless signal cannot reach.
I am however having trouble connecting the two devices. Ideally I would like the Netgear to be configured so that computers connected to the Business Hub seamlessly connect to the Netgear when its signal strength is strongest without the need to enter a separate wireless key.
Hopefully that is clear however if anyone needs anything clarifying please don't hesitate to ask.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
andicd
Solved!

Thanks,
But the two units arn't plug and play are they? How do I go about paring the two units? I have accessed the Netgears IP settings, do these need to be changed in order to make it compatible to my network?
I am following this guide - http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/WG602v4_IG_04June07.pdf
I am currently at 2b however am unsure what these settings for my network should be.

Netgear access point

I have just purchased the new extreme. Set up was straight forward and is at all defaults. I cannot however retain connectivity with a Netgear Universal WIFI internet adapter. WNCE2001. This is being used to connect a device onto my network that does not have an internet card. The internet adaptor worked just fine with my old linksys network. Airport network gives it access (with a green light) and after some minutes it turns red showing no connectivity. Does the apple airport shift broadcast channels or prevent access to the network somehow. I cant find any appropriate settings to adjust to let this access point retain access to the network. It's a common device (often used for game systems etc) so i wonder if anyone else has come acress this problem and found a fix or knows whats going on. Thanks in advance.

Connect Time Capsule to BT Home Hub ?

I recently purchased the Time Capsule and want to connect it to my BT Home Hub, using the Airport Utility on the CD that comes with Time Capsule I follow all the on screen prompts about adding it to my existing wireless network. The Time Capsule updates and then a message comes up about it re-starting, after this message closes the Airport Utility shows an error message and says that no Apple wireless device can be found. I have to reset the Time Capsule for it to show up on the list again
My BT Home Hub is WEP protected and I've seen a few posts and forums around the web saying that the Time Capsule is WPA protected. If that was the case why does it give the option for WEP passwords.
Anybody else had this problem or knows of a workaround ? - I don't want to have to change my security settings on my BT Home Hub to WPA/ WPA2 as this will have a knock on issue with other items I use on my wireless network.
Any assistance would be appreciated as I spent 5 hours last night playing around with settings to no avail - All I managed to connect was the Time Capsule to my Mac (just to make sure it was working).
Regards
Andrew

Silly question, but how should I initially set up the Time Capsule to set it as a secondary router ? by creating a new wireless network or something else - do I need to attached the ethernet cable from my main wireless BT Home Hub for intial set up ? *NOTE: I currently have the Time Capsule attached by wireless to my Mac so therfore cannot access the internet at the same time without changing network.
I'm currently at work so forgive the abbreviated exact terms for the selection process for adding the Time Capsule, should I select the first option from the list when prompted ie "to add or replace device on wireless network..." as oposed to selecting "add device to existing wireless network" ?
I understand about setting it to "bridge" just wondered the best way to get to that point to allow me to do that.
Any further assistance would be very much appreciated
Regards

IOS 6, Netgear access point and Internet

Hi,
I’ve reached a point where I’m not entirely sure what to do next.
Here are some quick details (all are on most recent firmware unless stated):
Router: Draytek Vigor2830n
Access Point: Netgear WG102
Devices: iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPad 2 and two iPad 2’s for comparison on iOS 5.
So, all devices running iOS 6.1.3/4 will connect to the Netgear access point just fine, can browse the LAN / stream media from network shares but internet access seems to be 'delayed' and can take anywhere between a minute to 20 minutes to connect (I give up after this). In comparison both the iPad 2’s running iOS 5 will gain internet access immediately after connecting to the access point.
On the other hand, when connecting to the routers wireless on all devices it works flawlessly and internet connection is 'instant'.
Given the problems that Netgear wifi has had with iOS 6, which were supposedly ‘fixed’ in iOS 6.1, I’m not sure what to do. It’s definitely a software problem, and could well be something to do with the router (along with connecting to the access point and iOS 6), but I’m not sure what to start changing first. iOS 5 works fine, so what has changed in iOS 6 to break it?
Its not a security issue like before 6.1 and not being able to connect to the access point at all.
Basically:
- I either need to figure what in iOS 6 is causing this ‘delay’ and how to fix it
-Give up on the access point and buy a new one (seems a bit extreme given that every other devices works fine – iOS 5, blackberry, laptops etc).
-Wait for iOS 7, hopefully in the next couple of weeks and see if it fixes it, though I can find little information on this issue as it is, and nothing to suggest iOS 7 might help. Though if iOS 5 is fine, iOS 6 broke it and 6.1 slightly fixed it, maybe iOS 7 will cure it? Doubt it…but worth waiting a few days.
Anyone got any suggestions? I have been through all the usual (HTTP proxy, forget this network, reset network settings), nothing makes it work flawlessly like iOS 5 and the issue is the same on a wide spread of devices running iOS 6.

Dont know my routerand access point works fine. Try http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199 and make sure your setting are correct.

Did you set it up correctly?
If you use a different router with ADSL, then you need to make sure that the authentication is set to PPPoA.

WRT54Gv7 and 2 Netgear Access Points WG602

Hi,
is it possible with a WLAN Broadband Router Linksys WRT54Gv7 and with 2 Netgear Access Points WG602 configure a Multi Point Bridging?
is it right that the WRT54G version 7 can not be upgraded to a own Firmware?
does the WRT54G version 7 supporting WDS?
thank you very much.

the router can only be configured as an access point..it cannot be configured in repeater or bridge mode...
also , i don't think that it can be upgraded to a third party firmware ..

Connected to access point but internet cannot be found????

router was working fine until it wasnt finding internet one nite and then it was unplugged so internet could be used on main computer and now when i try to plug everything back up to get wireless internet, it still says connected to access point but internet not found dont have a clue what is going on!?!

I think you were connecting to wireless router to access Internet, you need to have proper configuration on wireless router and wireless adapter to make it work, take a look on this wireless network setup tutorial to help you.

Connecting hi-fi amp to home hub 4

Hi, first time post, home somebody can help.
I've recently purchased a TEAC CR-H700DAB tuner/amplifier that should be able to connect wirelessly to my home computer(s) to stream recorded music.
When switching the device to the relevant function it displays "Network problem".
According to the YouTube clip at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nygu__aHbFo
...the way to set up an initial connection is to switch the amp on (with its antenna raised) and check in your router to find the IP address of the new device - the example shown in the clip is a Netgear router, but I assume that the BT Home Hub ought to work in a similar way. However, the only devices it picks up are the two existing laptops.
I'm at an impasse! Any suggestions?
Mike

Yes, I have the manual (although mine is slightly different).
When I follow that initial setup, I get as far as (on p. 34):
When you select "Wireless":
1. Turn the MULTI-JOG k-n-o-b [1] to select "Search AP", and then press the ENTER button.
2. Turn the MULTI-JOG k-n-o-b [1] to select the access oint to connect, and then press the ENTER button.
After (1) above, it says "Searching..." and then "Not Found" - which I assume means that it is not connecting to the Home Hub?
My laptop, which is in the same room, connects to the Home Hub with no problem.
[1] The forum software absurdly censors that word to **bleep** !!!

Connection via access point to my pc via Bluetooth

Pls, kindly guide me on how to connect my laptop to the network access point on the new c2-00 nokia via bluetooth. I have been trying, but couldnt get through. My pc did not see any network device, with the bluetooth on. Is that not because it is dual sim? Pls, guide me. Anticipating positive response.

Thank you John46. You have clarified the settings that I need to plug in to the access point. Just to confirm re the channel I need to set the channel on the access point to be different from the BT Hub.
Your assistance is much appreciated
I think you meant me.
Make sure that the home hub is set to a fixed wireless channel, not smart wireless. Try 1,6 or 11.
See http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14094/kw/change%20wireless%20channel/c/346,407,410
Set the additional access point to one of the other two frequencies. So if the hub is on 6, put the access point on 1 or 11.
This gives plenty of separation without any overlap.
If you read my document, you will see that I recommend setting the IP of the access point to 192.168.1.15, to avoid the DHCP range of the home hub.

Connection to email via iPhone Home Hub 3 BTInfini...

Suddenly unable to connect to my email via my iPhone. Connecting wirelessly via Home Hub 3 to BTInfinity. Get the message 'Yahoo server unavailable'. My wife can access her email on her iPhone and we can both get to email via desktop PC connected wirelessly to HUB. Settings on my iPhone identical to my Wifes. Any ideas why mines has stopped working please?

Could just be the intermittent, random problem with the Yahoo! servers that's been discussed at great length on the forum, eg here. Seems to have improved but problems are still being reported. Hopefully it will soon go away; if not you should get some expert advice if you report back here.

Compatible with Netgear Access point?

I plan to operate some wireless G security cameras with a netgear WG102 Access point with their optional 2.4 GHZ outdoor antena. I will also purchase a new airport extreme and a usb hub to share a printer a external drive from lacie.
Plan to hook the extreme to the access point via a crossover cable and the external antena will reach all the cameras up to 500 feet away.
Has anyone tried this and can the access point setup with the extreme?
I really wish the extreme had a optional external omni directional 9 dbi antena.

Your speed problems might not be problems at all. It might be due to the specifications of your access points. A normal G router runs 54 mbps wirelessly and a B access point runs at 11 mbps wirelessly.
And the brand new PC... where is it closest to? To the Netgear or the Linksys?

Can't connect to Access Point that is connected to the Internet (Snow Leopard 10.6.8)

Hi all,
I am normally not someone who posts on support forums since most of the problems can be solved be searching through piles of other questions, but this things has really got me pulling out my hair and I hope that maybe someone can help me with this super weird problem.
So, a few weeks back, my Mac Mini (kind of old, guessing 2007) stopped connecting to Wireless networks. Since all other devices in home (iPhone, MacBook Pro and a PC) are connecting just fine I thought it had to do with my settings. All it says is: "connection timeout".
The Mac Mini connects just fine when I plug in an ethernet cable, but that's a no go since I don't want cables laying around our living room that much.
I tried a lot of things suggested my other people like removing settings, PRAM reset, moving the AP closer, router settings etc etc. Of no avail. Even tried to fix it by reinstalling Snow Leopard, but that didn't do it either.
Though when I turned my MBP into an Access Point it could connect to that network just fine. That made me wonder if it's my router, but once I plug in an ethernet cable into my MBP to share Internet access it won't connect! Tried the same with my router and indeed, it connects just fine once it has no Internet connection.
Tried searching for people that had the same problem, but I couldn't find them. Can anybody here help?
TLDR; Mac won't connect to Wireless network that has an internet connection, but does when it hasn't.
Thanks!

Try disconnecting the router from the internet (WAN port) and plugging a PC directly into one of the LAN ports. After resetting, ignore the smartwifi login, click the two checkboxes, and login manually/directly with the "admin" password and reconfigure.
If you don't want to do all that just yet, try accessing the router from the public IP address assigned by your ISP. That might work

Using Mac mini as an access point for home network

Hi
I'm looking for some help on using my mac mini as an access point on my home network.
I have a G5 tower which is wired in to my router and acts as a home server. It has all my itunes library, films, etc
I stream these to various machines in the house, one of which is a mac mini in our living room.
The mini is connected to the network via powerline adapters meaning the airport is left free.
So i set up internet sharing on the mini via airport so I can use the machine as an access point for the living room.
If I connect another machine to the mini via airport, Internet is working fine but for some reason I can't see the any other machines on the network.
All I see in the sidebar is the mini, not the server.
I've tried it on both mine and my friends macbook but had no luck.
Am I doing this the wrong way?
How would you go about doing this?
Cheers

Internet Sharing may not be providing an address via DHCP, It also may not be providing a subnet Mask that can get you to communicate with the other computers on your local Network.
Take a look at what IP addresses are being used by the various computers on the network. I would expect you have a Router that may be using 192.168.0.1 as its base "private" address, and issuing DHCP Addresses in that range and higher with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, meaning anything with the same three high octets can communicate freely without Router intervention.
But what addresses are bing used for the Wireless Shared computer(s)? and what subnet mask?

Cant connect bb 8520 to bt home hub 2

as per title. i previously have been connecting my bb to the wi fi in the home hub 2.0.
anyway as of today after an update on bt desktop or other it wont let me connect, it will scan and identify the wi fi connection but not make the connection.
i realise that this might be a common problem through a quick search but ive not seen a solution.

have you tried deleting the existing connection in wireless networks and then trying to connect to your HH2 with a new connection
