tenderfoot Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 So last night I saw my adaptor hasn't been online for 24 hours. Netgear wnce model is very popular. I found its power light blinking green and it won't connect. Os there a way anyone knows of to use a regular wireless router in its place? I have a netgear router I am using to try this with but I'm not having any luck. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

MoparFan2016 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 There is a way to do it. The router needs to be set up as an "access point" or AP. This allows you to plug the ethernet from the apex into the LAN ports on the back and have it act like your wireless adapter. You will need to go into the routers settings, which depends on brand and model. There you can configure it to connect to your home network and set the LAN settings for AP. Here is a link that might help: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20927/~/how-do-i-change-my-netgear-router-to-ap-mode-after-i’ve-already-run-setup%3F I hope this helps somewhat.

tenderfoot Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 According to the article you linked, it appears the AP router must be plugged in to the main router to act as an AP. I would just hard wire mine if I was able to drag a wire that far. I am looking for a wireless solution like I had with the WNCE netgear previously. Thank you much for the heads up though.

MoparFan2016 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I'm sorry, I didn't even see that. It was late lol The concept I was looking for was wireless "bridge mode." That is what you want to bridge the apex wirelessly with your home router. Do you have the model number from your router? This link is for a newer router, but might get you in the correct direction. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20831/~/how-to-set-up-bridge-mode-on-r6300,-r6250-%26-r6200%3F?cid=wmt_netgear_organic Sorry for the confusion.
