DGN2000 router problem. I have 2 pc connected on the router and only the main one has access to the internet. Am i doing something wrong with the settings or does my router has a problem? Is it true that DGN2000 has a hardware problem and you cant connect more than 1 computers?

Merceconstan,

I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but your router sounds like what those of us in the trade affectionately called "bricked".

Check the ip address of your computer. You can do this holding down the windows key and pressing the "R" key to bring up the run window. When that window is up type "cmd" and press enter. This should bring up a black window with a command prompt. At this prompt, type "ipconfig" and press enter. This will list all the IP addresses of your computer. If the address of your wired connection looks like 169.254.x.x when plugged into the router, then your router isn't "handing out" addresses, and is probably broken.

Your best option is to contact Netgear for a replacement if you are still under warranty.


Sorry.

Low signal strength for some reason.

ubuntu's wireless support is flakey, but it improved with Ubuntu 9.04

I had a similar problem in Ubuntu 8.10 with Netgear WNDA3100. Recommend that you install Ubuntu 9.04 -- to get your Netgear wireless-N USB device working.
