Windows Forum / Windows XP / Networking and Web / August 2005Netgear Wireless Router Problems =(
Everything worked just fine before installing this new router 2 days ago! Installed a NetGear Wireless Router for my wife's VPN so she can access work with her wireless laptop. Since installing the router...the internet to the 2 desktop pc's in the house have little or no internet access. Sometimes we get email, sometimes just web sites. Seems to be intermittent at best. Here's what I have done to try and diagnose the problem: 1. Shut down both pc's, then shutdown my DSL modem, then the router. 2. Started modem first, waited, then started router, waited, then started up pc's. Hoping that the ip would release. 3. Ran IPCONFIG to make sure the ISP IP is assigned correctly. It was. 4. Back to square one ......still little/No internet access on desktops. Wife's laptop seems to be getting the same problem thru wireless. Please help...my wife and kids are ready to kill me! Jack Barrett Frustrated Amateur Hack Which model NetGear? Can you readily open http://216.239.37.99 (google by IP) on the problem machines? (I have a suspicion re. an issue with some Netgears that this info. will help to confirm.)

Hope this helps. Thanks, jack > Which model NetGear? Can you readily open http://216.239.37.99 (google by > IP) on the problem machines? [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >> >> Jack Barrett Frustrated Amateur Hack Your problem (particularly the intermittent aspect) sounds very much like one that was common with the defective WGR614 whereby it did not handle DNS correctly. (Netgear dumped a large volume of these on the market at rock bottom prices to get rid of them. I've since stopped all purchasing of Netgear products in my business.) However, to my knowledge, other Netgear models are not know for this problem. Did you test with the access by IP that I suggested? What DSL modem do you have? Is it set to bridge mode?
