Netgear RangeMax DGND3000 as Access point?

Can my Netgear DGND3300 function as a wireless access point on my Verizon FIOS network? My FIOS modem/router is a MI424WR-GEN2.
If the answer is yes, what settings do I need to make this seemless? Ideally, I want it on the same SSID so the tablets and laptops will just have continuous coverage throughout my house. The goal is to extend coverage since the verizon router is in the basement. I have coax throughout the house so I can strategically place the netgear.
Could it also be used to set up a guest network like when I had it for DSL?
thx!

As the guy on the Netgear forum stated last July, the guest network won't work if you set up the netgear as an ap only 
To make it work you need the netgear router to be issuing dhcp leases.
You could do that by making the netgear router a different subnet  I.E. connect a lan port of the actiontec to the wan port of the netgear - the downside of this is that it makes it difficult for devices on the actiontec sub-net to access devices on the netgear subnet.
Otherwise maybe it's possible to disable the dhcp server on the actiontec and enable it on the netgear instead,  might be worth trying
I never bothered.  I decided the fios router was so bad that I just use it to control the stb's and built my own subnets on my own routers below it.

  • Is Netgear WPN 802 wireles access point mac compatible

    For two days I have been trying to configure my iMac G5 to the Netgear WPN 802 wireless router for internet access. I've had no success. I'm not really sure if I'm doing it correctly. Netgear tells me to plug the system via the ethernet cable supplied into the iMac, open a web browser and type in the given IP address. I've tried that and it keeps timing out (after 40secs). I am a beginner with networking but even a call to my internet provider proved fruitless as they couldn't give me any help.
    I tried to set it up manually through system preferences and network and created a new network. I activated airport and connect it to the netgear and this comes up "AirPort is connected to NETGEAR and has the IP address 10.xxx.x.xx" Does that mean I'm in? I try to access the internet and it says I'm not connected.
    Did I mention I'm a relative newbie?
    Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated...

    If you've been messing with it, your best bet to start with is to restore the router to factory presets by pressing its reset button for at least 5 seconds.
    First off, how are you connecting to your ISP? Cable modem or DSL? If it's a cable service you may need to talk to your ISP to find out if there's anything you need to do. If it's DSL, you will need the log in details, again from your ISP.
    How are you connecting to the internet at the moment? Do you have a cable/DSL modem?
    From the manual I found online for your router it states that you need to configure the network settings on the computer for ethernet to have a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and 255.255.255.0 as the Subnet Mask first.
    Open System Preferences/Network and select the Ethernet section on the left. In the 'Configure' dropdown on the right select 'Manually' and enter the IP address and subnet mask above into the relevant boxes. Put the router to 192.168.0.231. Click apply.
    Plug in the ethernet cable from the computer to the router and switch it on. Give it a minute and then fire up your web browser of choice.
    Enter http://192.168.0.231 into the address field and hit return.
    At the prompt enter 'admin' as the username and 'password' as the password.
    Hopefully you should now be connected to the router and can set up the settings for your system.
    First off, under the basic settings you need to enable the DHCP client which is off by default. Click the Enable button then 'Apply' at the bottom. You don't need to change anything else at the moment.
    If you now go to your computer and select the Airport section in System Preferences/Network go into the Advanced section, under the TCP/IP tab at the top, you should have 'Configure IPv4' set to 'Using DHCP'. This should be all you need to be able to connect from the computer wirelessly to the router.
    To set up the router to connect to the internet, you may need to enter the settings that your ISP will provide you with, and I can't help with that without knowing more about your connection.
    Hope this helps

  • 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,

    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.

  • G4  (10.4.11) airport (9.52) wifi connectivity issue w WPA access point

    I am struggling to resolve a wi-fi connectivity issue between a G4 imac with airport card and a netgear wireless-n access point.
    The set up is as follows - the broadband comes into a Netgear router (DG834Gv5)which my Intel imac connects wirelessly to. Two daughter's den is away downstairs so I run an ethernet cable from the main netgear router to a netgear Pro-safe wireless access point (WNAP210) as an extender (we live on a houseboat so there are metal bulkheads and the like inbetween.
    In the den older daughters G5 wirelessly connects to the Netgear access point easily through a WPA-PSK connection.
    Younger daughters G4 running 10.4.11, with original airport card running firmware 9.52 (airport admin utility 4.2) refuses with the 'wrong password' error (it isn't - I have checked 50x) or sometimes just 'there was an error joining'.
    It can see the network strongly (the airport menubar icon goes full, then cuts, then flashes on, then drops) but refuses any traffic.
    This G4 can however connect, weakly, with my upstairs router which is also WPA-PSK protected (same password)!
    I have read all the forums on this and despite some non-expert posts muddling the issue I believe that this SHOULD be possible. Not WPA2 I know but basic WPA.
    In addition the options in the netgear extender are b&g (like upstairs which works), g or n. So I have selected b&g - no difference.
    Currently I have had to set a separate channel for her and leave it unsecured which isn't a long term option (I am just hoping that even the cleverest war-driver cant sneak in through the extender, back up to the traffic between my Intel and the main router !!?)
    Can anyone suggest what I might be missing in the conjuration (sic, ahem) configuration settings either on the G4 or the Netgear box ?
    Is it enough to turn the broadcasting of the open channel name off and so render it invisible ?
    Thanks in advance for any expert person's attention

    hi kathryn
    did it have to be the Telekom, by all means??
    anyway, first of all a link to a video where a german comedian writes a letter to steve jobs demanding he chose any carrier but the DTAG for the iPhone distribution in germany - really funny!
    http://bit.ly/4B4OdQ
    OK, I´m currently downloading the speedport manual from their website and will look through it, in order to see if there´s something in there..
    as a first guess I´d try looking at the wireless prefs of that speedport box. I guess it supports by default 802.11a/b/g, whereas the G4 only does 802.11b (the "normal" airport). Try selecting only the 802.11b portion from the speedport (that makes networking somewhat slower for airport express computers, but shoudn´t be a problem since it´s still at least as fast as basic DSL service (11MBit vs 2 or 6 MBit)

  • Setting up a netgear n300 as wireless bridge/access point with airport extremee

    I just replaced my netgear wireless router with the airport to allow our many devices on the network without knocking each other off and also increase the speed.  But would like to use the netgear as a wireless bridge or access point so that I can still connect my NTFS formatted hard drive to be shared on the network.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I can not seem to find my netgear router with 192.168.1.1 as that comes up with another device.  I have tried doing this with a windows laptop in another room but can not seem to make it work.  I am now hooked up directly to the airport thinking i need to do it that way and still no luck. Please help.

    As long as you intend to do this over ethernet it will work.. you cannot easily wireless repeat or bridge to an apple router.. you would need specific hardware to do it.
    What is the exact model of netgear you have?
    The setup method depends on the functionality of the router.. but lets assume it does not have a bridge or WAP mode.
    You use WAN bypass.
    1. Setup the Netgear with IP address in the correct IP range for the rest of the network.. it is hard to talk generalities so lets say the apple is main router and your network is now 10.0.1.x .. then set the Netgear to 10.0.1.250 (apple uses IP 2-200 by default) you can use any value you like outside the DHCP range. Up to the limit which is 254 as long as you keep track of all static IP devices. Apply this setting and power cycle the router.. and you might need to power cycle the computer as well to pick up the new IP.
    2. Turn off the DHCP server in the Netgear. You may lose connection to the netgear now.. do not worry about it.. (this can be combined with one.. if you firstly turn off dhcp before you change the IP.. but whatever is possible.. at some point you will need to change around and if you forget what IP .. you will be in a mess.. so write it on a label and stick on the base of the router.. also without dhcp you will either need to reset router to factory using reset button or use static ip on the computer. )
    3. Plug ethernet from LAN of the main router to LAN of the Netgear. Reboot the whole network is often necessary.
    4. In your computer plugged somewhere in the network.. open browser and go to the address you set.. 10.0.1.250 in my example.
    5. You can then setup the Netgear to do whatever you like.. DIsk access is fine.. wireless is fine.. it just cannot be a router.
    Many many reboots if you get lost. Hit reset and start over.

  • Accessing a WRT160Nv2 through a Netgear WG602v4 access point?

    I need some sort of extender to ensure the wireless signals reaches upstairs in my house.  The only one that Best Buy was the Netgear WG602v4.  Doing my best to follow directions, I got the WG602 configured as the WRT160N from an SSID and security/password perspective.  However, none of the computers connected to the access point can access the Internet.  I've tried the WG602 both in point to point and repeater modes.
    A number of the forums talk about settings that I don't seem to have on the WRT as well as something called WDS.
    Does anyone know if I can use the WG602 as an access point for the WRT160N and, if so, how I can make it happen?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for trying to help.  I wonder if the two devices just aren't compatible -- one is Linksys and the other is Netgear.
    I've also been reading about something called WDS, and the WRT160Nv2 doesn't seem to have WDS - or at least I can't find it.
    I can still get other devices to connect to the WG602v4, but no Internet through it.
    You said to give the WG602v4 the same default gateway as the Linksys router.  According to my router that default gateway is 151.164.182.113.  However, when I enter that into the Netgear device, it won't take.
    Any more ideas from anyone?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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 ..

  • Wireless Access Points - Time Capsule and Netgear

    Ok...Netgear support site was completely useless so I am hoping that someone over here can help me out. I think what I am trying to do is relatively simple but for 3 days now I have gotten no-joy.
    Here is my current configuration: Westell DSL Modem (wireless disabled) --wired-- Netgear WNR834B (SSID 1, operating b/g mode) --wired-- Time Capsule (SSID 2, operating n mode, connection sharing Off Bridge mode). All other devices are hanging off wirelessly to one of the two routers.
    What I am trying to do is add a wireless Access Point (Netgear WN802T) to the picture. I need better coverage on the other side of the house and don't want to run wires. The WNR834B is WDS compatible but I can't figure out how to put it into repeater mode or bridge mode. So I thought my next best bet (before going out and buying even more hardware) would be to try and extend the TIme Capsule network. I have been unsuccessful so far (SSIDs are the same, channels are the same, WEP set because I read somewhere that WPA was not supported in repeater/bridge mode). Is it even possible to use a Netgear Access Point with the Time Capsule (I would think it would work, but I just can't get it to).
    I can get the WN802T to be seen in my network, but I can not get it to carry the internet connection.
    Any advice or steps would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for any/all help

    friars, welcome to the discussions!
    Sorry, but the possibility of extending the wireless network created by the Time Capsule with a device from another manufacturer is almost zero. Based on information from other top users, the only Netgear model that is shown as WDS compatible with an Apple base station is a model WGR614 v6.
    Take a look at an Apple AirPort Express to "extend" the network created by the Time Capsule. While the Express will also do WDS, the bandwidth on your network will be cut by 50% with the addition of just one WDS device. The "extend" feature on the Express does not impose this type of penalty and it is fully WPA/WPA2 capable as well, much more secure than WEP.
    For about the same money as an Express, you might also consider ethernet power line adapters. Almost as good as having a direct ethernet connection. Available from Netgear, Linksys, and others.

  • MacBook Wireless card. Would it connect to NETGEAR RANGEMAX?

    Hello
    First of all may i apologize, i'm not sure whether im leaving this in the right section, but i couldnt find a forum for general wireless.
    Recently my Brother and I have moved into the granny flat located next to my house.
    currently the house is using a Airport extreme N series wireless router, but the router doesnt reach 'The Barn' (the granny flat).
    Ive been told that the NETGEAR RANGEMAX™ SMART MIMO WIRELESS
    ROUTERS – WPN824 (yes i did copy and paste that, hence the font :P) would reach The Barn with no issues, but what i would like to know is whether the Rangemax would connect to my MacBook, my brothers MacBook and the IMac in the house. all three are running on leopard at this moment in time.
    would I need to buy extra wireless cards? or would the wireless cards inside my MacBook connect to the Rangemax?
    thanks very much

    If the question is "will they communicate at all," e.g., no protocol issues, the answer is yes. But that's not the hard question.
    It's very common for people not to realize that adding broadcast power to your router to address a distance issue solves only half the problem. Now you have to ask yourself, is the transmitter in your MacBook powerful enough for that router to see you? In general, if you cannot see a router, which has an external antenna that can be arbitrarily boosted, the router cannot see you, with your modest antenna tucked away in the lid of your laptop.
    The best solution for you may be some external equipment, i.e., think of your granny flat as a "satellite location." This unit:
    http://keenansystems.com/EOC-2610.pdf
    will both transmit and receive to your farmhouse with no problem. Set it up as a bridge-router, cable it to an inexpensive 10/100 switch (or your own local wireless router configured as an access point) and you have your own service inside the granny flat. You don't even have to mount it outdoors, just stand it on a shelf or bookcase and point it through your wall. (If you do mount it outdoors, you can reach several miles with it.) The EOC-2610 can be had for $75, a local router for $15, and you have all the service you can use.

  • How do I setup an Access Point/Repe​ater on FIOS

    I have a MI424WR-GEN2 router/modem from Verizon.  Since Verizon installed it in the basement, my wi-fi at various other points is not the strongest. I do have cat-5 in various parts of the house. So, I'd like to add one of my old routers to the network and have it act as an access point or repeater (not sure if there is a difference between the two designations).  I'm technical enough to be dangerous and do damage but I wasn't having any luck doing this ... for one, I can't even figure out how to access it to program it since 192.168.1.1 is the verizon router.
    I have three choices for a device:
    (1) Linksys WRT54GS
    (2) Linksys BEFW11S4
    (3) Netgear RangeMAx DGND3300 (my preferred choice because it has B/G/N as options)
    Help please!
    Thank you!

    Ok, it is working, more or less. But there seems to be a connectivity or reliability issue. For some reason, and it seems to only be on my laptop (but perhaps because the others in my house aren't on engough and haven't noticed an issue?).
    I periodically lose connectivity but the network is not down.  I turn off my laptop wi-fi, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on.
    I suspect this is something to do with competing protocols ... I don't know, and Verizon didn't confirm, if their router support b/g AND n.  The netgear supports b/g/n.  Also, the Netgear is dual band. Right now, the netgear, as an access point, has both 2.4Ghz (11g) and 5Ghz (11n) SSIDs set to the same name.  Should they be different? In which case, do we need an additional wi-fi to recognize? It doesn't appear as if I can disable one of them.
    For the time being, the netgear access point is right next to the laptop. COuld the proximity cause a problem? I've never had that issue before but trying to identify anything!
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

  • How to set up the Time Capsule as an access point

    Hi there,
    I have home office and am having wifi-connectivity issues due to the layout of my home.
    I'm getting the electrician to set up ethernet outlets in various rooms in my house so that I can get wired connections in several rooms. What I want to do is connect my Time Capsule to one of those ethernet ports (see the diagram below) so that I can still broadcast a wi-fi signal in my house while having wired connections elsewhere.

    In my research in how to set this up, I've come across documentation that shows how to convert an old Netgear/Linksys wifi router to an access point. Here's an example of the documentation I've run across: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-basics/30338-how-to-convert-a-w ireless-router-into-an-access-point. What I haven't encountered is how to do this with a Time Capsule.
    Here are my questions:
    Do I just follow these instructions and substitute "Time Capsule" where the author references "AP"?
    I currently have my network set up through the Time Capsule. Here are some of the things that I currently have set up and corresponding questions:
    all computers can access the printer via wifi - under the above setup, will all computers (connected to the new network via wired OR wireless access) still have access to the printer?
    I have my macbook set up as a media center for my xbox and PS3. The Xbox and PS3 connect to my macbook and access the movie files that I have saved on my Time Capsule and a 2nd HDD that is connected to the Time Capsule via USB - under the above setup, will I still be able to access those movies with my PS3 and Xbox via the macbook media center software?
    Thanks a ton for any help or advice. It's much appreciated.

    Excellent.. great to see people doing the job properly and wiring ethernet.
    Here are my questions:
    Do I just follow these instructions and substitute "Time Capsule" where the author references "AP"?
    Apple system is slightly different.. although the AP method would work the TC has a programmed state for placing it in AP mode.
    And Apple even documented it.

    The difference in your system, is you are not using an Apple primary router (I presume) but otherwise the same.
    Any router setup as WAP, you bridge the router part.. and you use Same wireless name.. same security setting (WPA2 Personal is WPA2 AES and the only one suitable). Same passkey..
    I would add one difference to the apple insstructions.. they depend on auto wireless channels working. IMHO, auto anything in wireless is akin to voodoo black arts and has more to do with beads and rattles than science. It works fine in some case.. terrible in others.. lock it down. Set the wireless yourself.. at 2.4ghz there are only 3 non overlapping channels.. 1, 6, 11 .. if you use 300mbit N on the main router, it will use 2 of those channels.. choose the third for the TC.
    Of course the TC can also use 5ghz.. and I lock it down as well but that is more my control freak nature.. and strong skeptism of anything auto in the wireless world.
    I currently have my network set up through the Time Capsule. Here are some of the things that I currently have set up and corresponding questions:
    all computers can access the printer via wifi - under the above setup, will all computers (connected to the new network via wired OR wireless access) still have access to the printer?
    I have my macbook set up as a media center for my xbox and PS3. The Xbox and PS3 connect to my macbook and access the movie files that I have saved on my Time Capsule and a 2nd HDD that is connected to the Time Capsule via USB - under the above setup, will I still be able to access those movies with my PS3 and Xbox via the macbook media center software?
    Your number auto changed.. fun isn't it when i edit it shows correctly but when I post it changes the format.
    On the new setup the printer will still be available to all clients .. whether wireless or wired.
    And to second part, yes, all file access is not going to change.. well I don't predict any.. IP of the system might change around but overall you are creating a single flat network. And that will work fine.
