Netgear i have been given a netgear wpn802 wireless 802.11g rangemax access point and a netgear wg111v2 54 mbps wireless usb pc card. can you tell me a good router to get to use with these and how to set them up because i don't know and i didn't get any books to tell me anything? thanks.

This means the DHCP service is not enabled on the wireless router.

either enable the DHCP service on the wireless router

or

Give a static IP onto your wireless NIC card ( Netgear N150 Wireless usb adapter )

Do the protocols match?
Did you install the drivers for the wireless card?
If they do and you did then the wireless card is no good.

Hi,

Please let me know about the model number of the wireless router and the operating system installed on the concerned computer.

You log into your netgear and under firewall you add the port exception to the list.

If you need additional help tell me the model of your netgear router.
Regards

Yes you can use it as an access point and hook it to your existing router, since this is a wireless router and can work as a wireless access point on your network............

What are you trying to connect your USB wireless device to?
Is it to a wireless hot spot?
or to a Wireless Access Point/Router?
When you find a connection, what is the signal strength?
I assume you have configured your Access Point correctly as well as making it secure. You should connect a computer to the Access Point using a network 10BaseT cable to check the Access Point configuration, especially the wireless configuration.

If you are trying to connect to a wireless Access Point and you have a weak signal, move your computer closer to the Access Point or move the Access Point to a better and higher location to give you a better wireless coverage. Note, walls can affect the wireless signals between the Access Point and the wireless network card and wireless USB device, especially reinforced concrete walls.

Sounds like the network card on the 3rd computer might be set to a manual ip address. Is the rangemax router the dhcp server? if so is the network card on the 3rd computer set to obtain an ip address automatically?

can you tell me the ip address of the rangemax router?
whats the ip address of the 3rd pc?

Thanks,
Brad

I have had good luck with the NetGear Rangemax WPN824. It has multiple antennas that are supposed to provide better range, and your kids will like the blue blinking lights.

Nintendo has a list of incompatible wireless routers:

and the Rangemax is not incompatible.

Wii can use 802.11B or G.

Since the Rangemax is both a wireless access point and a router (with 4 ethernet ports), you can just replace your existing router rather than plugging this router into your other one.

there is no reason why you shouldnt connect at 108 mpbs, so there are only a coulple of things you can try, the first is to change the channel that your router transmits on within the router settings, although this should automatically be done by the router when it comes up against any interference. Secondly try the adapter in a different usb port as USB 2.0 should be used and the port may not be recognised as a high speed port. Double check the router connection transmition speeds is set at 108 mbps; as it would also be able to transmit at a lower speed of 54 mbps so as to be backward compatable with 54 mbps adapters
