Troubleshooting a Netgear MR814v2 and Airport Extreme
I have some problems with this router as well. I never lost connection to the Internet, that I can see. BUT, I do lose connection in IRC sometimes. Also, after a certain period of time, I can no longer ping the router or any other device on my local network, however internet connection still works just fine.

Okay, tried something that I found...well, somewhere. I've had difficulties connecting my Airport Extreme (v3.4.3) with my Netgear MR814v2 (firmware v5.3_05). The uPnP trick did not work for me at all. I had to unplug the router to get it to assign an IP address for my Powerbook.
A potential key: I've got my router attached via ethernet cable to a Windows machine. Somewhere on this mysterious thing we call the 'internet' someone suggested that it would help if I removed the IPX functionality from my Windows networking. (Found the source of this suggestion: here) I don't ever use this, so I tried it....Whoa...it actually seems to have worked. The one other thing I've changed is that I've enabled uPnP and changed the 'Advertisement Time to Live' to 25. This has only been working for a few days, so I'll report back if something else goes wrong.

Now this sounded hopeful. The desktop hardwired by Ethernet to my Netgear router runs OS 9.2.2, and I found MacIPX control panel, and extensions called MacIPX Ethernet and MacIPX Token Ring on it. I turned them all off. The games I play on the desktop still worked.... and the Airport Extreme lost the 'Net due to that darned "self-assigned IP address" within a half hour, as usual. I'll try trashing its preferences folder.

Google is your friend is it not? Glad I could help. It's worked wonders for me, haven't had a problem since turning off IPX. |
