Hello, I am having a problem with my netgear router i bought a couple weeks ago.
Basicly this is what is happening. I have recently upgrade Netgear routers from the Wireless-G router to the Rangemax router. I have set everything up correctly like I did my old router but, I noticed on the desktop icon tray, i click on the netgear icon which displays my router status, it says "Connected to router" but i have full internet access. Its suppose to say "Connected to Internet" though. About 2 times a day it will just randomly dissconnect from the router and i will lose connection and the only way i can reconnect is to restart my computer. I also have noticed when i click on the "about" tab, the "driver version and the driver date" both say "unknown". Im thinking its a driver issue but im not sure. Any help with this is appericated.
Netgear RangeMax Router
Router type - WPN824
Adapter type - WPN111
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0
Im not familiar with NIC. Could you get me a link for the driver download? Another thing, the "wireless light" on my router is suppose to be lit up constantly, mine just blinks rapidly ever 10seconds or so. Another thing, scratch the thing i said about the driver version and driver date say "unknown" out. That seems to be showing up now. I have checked my router home page and it says no new fireware updates. |
OMFG-here is the answer for EVERYONE and why the netgear for my computer would work wireless but not on a computer previously connected to the same router. I thought my friend could get things going after my modem crashed and I had to buy a new one. Apparently, my IP and DNS settings were changed somewhere in the process and I was TWO days without he computer connected via Ethernet cord. This is the LIFESAVER of all time. Paragraph three is what truly fixed my computer problem. Two check marks in the wrong box caused more than 50 hours of frustration. GOOD LUCK ALL.
