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...
