In particular, you should disable the DHCP server function on the wireless repeater AP. To configure the router as a repeater unit: 1.
N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3 Remote Computer Access Basics When a computer on your network needs to access a computer on the Internet, your computer sends your router a message containing the source and destination address and process information. Before forwarding your message to the remote computer, your router must modify the source information and create and track the communication session so that replies can be routed back to your computer.
N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3 5. Upon receiving the incoming message, your router checks its session table to determine whether there is an active session for port number 33333. Finding an active session, the router then modifies the message to restore the original address information that was replaced by NAT. Your router sends this reply message to your computer, which displays the web page from www.example.com.
N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3 5. The IRC server sends a return message to your router using the NAT-assigned source port (as in the previous example, say port 33333) as the destination port. The IRC server also sends an “identify” message to your router with destination port 113. 6. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 33333, your router checks its session table to determine whether there is an active session for port number 33333.
N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3 The remote computer then sends this request message through the Internet to your router. 2. Your router receives the request message and looks in its rules table for any rules covering the disposition of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that incoming port 80 traffic should be forwarded to local IP address 192.168.1.123. Therefore, your router modifies the destination information in the request message.
N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3 Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers Using the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the Internet. Use the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen to configure the router to forward specific incoming protocols to computers on your local network.

N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3 Troubleshoot with the LEDs After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur: 1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is on. 2. After approximately 30 seconds, verify the following: • The Power LED is solid green. • The Internet LED is on. • A numbered LAN port LED is on for any local port that is connected to a computer. A lit LAN port LED indicates that a link has been established to the connected device.
N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3 Cannot Log In to the Router If you are unable to log in to the router from a computer on your local network, check the following: • If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection between the computer and the router as described in the previous section. • Make sure that your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router.
N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3 Cannot Access the Internet If you can access your router but not the Internet, check to see if the router can obtain an IP address from your Internet service provider (ISP). Unless your ISP provides a fixed IP address, your router requests an IP address from the ISP. You can determine whether the request was successful using the Router Status screen. To check the WAN IP address: 1. Start your browser, and select an external site such as www.netgear.com. 2.
N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3 Your Router Can Obtain an IP Address from the ISP but Cannot Access the Internet If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any web pages from the Internet, the problem might be one of the following: • Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses. A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric IP addresses.
N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3 Troubleshoot Internet Browsing If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any web pages from the Internet, check the following: • Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses. A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically, your ISP provides the addresses of one or two DNS servers for your use.
N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3 Wireless Connectivity If you are having trouble connecting wirelessly to the router, try to isolate the problem, as follows: • Does the wireless device or computer that you are using find your wireless network? If not, check the Wireless LED on the front of the router. It should be lit. If it is not, you can use the NETGEAR genie to turn the router’s wireless radio back on (see Advanced Wireless Settings on page 65).
N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3 Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility Most network devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. You can easily troubleshoot a network by using the ping utility in your computer or workstation. Test the LAN Path to Your Router You can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up correctly.
N300 Wireless Router Model JWNR2000Tv3 Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a remote device. To test the path from a Windows computer: 1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button, and select Run. 2. In the Windows Run window, type the following: ping -n 10 is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.
