Troubleshooting a Netgear MR814v2 and Airport Extreme
Authored by: jscheeres on Sep 30, '03 02:38:39PM

You are right! - the firmware upgrade 5.0.1 did indeed fix the problem connecting to G4 powerbook with an AE card. Warning - The Netgear support techs (outsource call center in India) are clueless - they tried to pass it off as an airport problem and said the upgrade would not help - they obviously are under-educated about their own product. So, thank goddess for this forum!

Thank you for the hint.
However, I had problems uploading the firmware with Net scape 7.1 under OSX.
It finally worked with Explorer .....

Troubleshooting a Netgear MR814v2 and Airport Extreme
Authored by: nickc on Feb 13, '04 01:47:03AM

So I just got an iBook with an Airport Extreme card, and was Extremely disappointed that it didn't work with my netgear MR814v2 router which worked successfully with 2 other kinds of wireless cards. The airport extreme card found the wireless signal fine, but was unable to get an IP address. Actually, about 1 in 10 times that I tried it, it WAS able to get an IP address. I upgraded the router firmware to 5.03, but still no good. I fiddled with some of the router settings (on the netgear router web interface), and finally, after making one particular change, it seemed to work! But in order to find out what that change is, you will need to mail me a check for...just kidding. By changing the WEP Authentication Type (in wireless settings) to "Automatic," it seems to work. Give it a try, and maybe you too can avoid shelling out $200 for an Airport base station...

Troubleshooting a Netgear MR814 and Airport Extreme
Authored by: Raoul5 on Mar 03, '04 02:08:54PM

I have an MR814 (not v2) and just bought an Airport Extreme card for my G5. The MR814 has had no problems with the PCs in the house in the past, but my G5 airport extreme is getting no signal on the taskbar at the top. Does anyone know if the an MR814 (notv2) firmware upgrade would help resolve this ??
