    Problem when switching Wifi APs

    My router's IP address is 192.168.1.254 with DHCP range 192.168.1.1 to 25 The Netcomm NP121 IP is fixed on 192.168.1.121 and gateway set to the router's IP above Most definitely want everything on the network to work together and the problem is they're not quite at the moment. If I flick...

    Problem when switching Wifi APs

    That's correct, there were 2 devices but the way they can be used is flexible. The instructions go into the various options. I have it in AP Mode and it is hard wired connected to the router and currently has a separate SSID currently but in the past it has been the same and the problem was...

    Problem when switching Wifi APs

    Both WPA2(AES) Netgear(router) is auto and the Netcomm is fixed at channel 11. The previous Netgear that also had the problem was fixed on channel 1.

    Problem when switching Wifi APs

    Sorry, yes I have checked that I ping before I change. I double checked the Netcomm just now and it clearly states AP mode. The other options are Repeater Mode and Client Bridge Mode. It is definitely working via ethernet as it doesn't have the wifi details for the new Netgear so it is only...

    Problem when switching Wifi APs

    Definitely only have the one DHCP server running, have checked the Netcomm is off and even tried using my NAS as the DHCP server, switching it off on the Netgear When you say, set to hand out the proper gateway and DNS info, the router is set to get DNS automatically from ISP, is there...

    Problem when switching Wifi APs

    Ok it's a NetComm NP121 CB in AP mode. The router is a Netgear D6300 but I had the same problem with the DGDN3700.

    Problem when switching Wifi APs

    Don't have the model number of the AP at the moment but it's not a router, it's a Netcomm that came bundled with two APs to bridge over wifi but the UI has the option to run in different modes. It's set up with a static IP with my modem/router operating as the DHCP server. The Netcomm is...

    Problem when switching Wifi APs

    I installed a second wifi AP upstairs due to poor wifi speeds upstairs but I have noticed that when I switch APs, I am unable to connect to other devices on the network (such as my NAS!) for 5 to 10 minutes. So after I head upstairs and reconnect, I can't connect for a period, can't even ping...

    QNAP vs Synology a.k.a. Hardware vs Software

    Was wondering the same, just commenting it's there now since the OP mentioned it!

    QNAP vs Synology a.k.a. Hardware vs Software

    I know what you mean, I've been tossing up between the two and have basically made no decision to date but the next gen of Synology boxes seem to have caught up. The new boxes just announced have dual NICs and USB 3.0, so I'm probably leaning towards the Synologies at the moment. The DS-1512+ is...
