SnotRocket Posted March 15, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 i am on my way to Office Max....wish me luck however, should not the freaking router work? this is way over my head but, here is my view. The directway 6000 has an internal router. When you connect another router to it, all hades breaks loose. The configuration to make it work this way must be ridiculous. thanks everyone for all the help. You folks are superb. This is the best support and camaraderie that I have ever experienced on the internet. Thanks for the patience and I will get back to you with the results. It will take me a few hours to get back to the ranch to install the hub....I'll get back with you tomorrow. thanks again, ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnotRocket Posted March 16, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hi, All problems are solved by installing the 5 port hub. I still do not understand why the router would not work, but it did not. I hope that this confusion helps someone else with the same problem. From what I understand, a router will work with the 6000 direcway if you have the professional plan. A router will not work with just the home consumer package. thanks guys for all the help. ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I an living proof of that It took tons of configuration to get it to work right though. PHP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnotRocket Posted March 16, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 16, 2005 Ahhh....tons of configuration is not my speciality.....thus the hub Shug....My daughters are very high maintance. For example, how would you like to have to drive 2 hours into town, spend 2 hours in a discussion forum, go to office max and buy a hub, and then drive 2 hours back to the ranch, only to find the little darlings fast asleep. Their computers were up and going by 1:30 a.m......they never even thanked me....lol and I might mention...they are spoiled silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted March 25, 2005 CID Share Posted March 25, 2005 Netgear should have some information about turning your router into access point mode, I will fish up the information soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted March 25, 2005 CID Share Posted March 25, 2005 Go to your routers support page, look at FAQs or knowledge base, it should tell you how to switch to access point mode which will help you connect wireless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleol Posted March 25, 2005 CID Share Posted March 25, 2005 These are the IE settings required by direcway. They brought me out of the dirt and am soaring at about 1M. See the attachment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
