 Access Point advice please Hi, I have a Netgear WG602 Access Point setup and connected to my Netgear DG834 ADSL Router. When I try to connect my laptop to the Access Point which can be right next to me, I can only see three other networks that do not belong to me. How can I make it so I can see my network and not these others. Thanks   |

Thanks I *think* that what must be happening is that you're seeing the other networks via your laptop's wireless card - i.e. nothing to do with your Access Point. Have you configured your access point yet? It'll come on a default IP address, eg. 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 or similar. You need to have a PC (or PC plugged into a similarly configured router) in the same IP range, then you should be able to access the AP setup page from a web browser by putting in the IP address. Once you've got this, set the SSID up, turn off DHCP (you don't want a router AND an AP giving out IP addresses) and you should be good to go. Get it working without security and then turn on WEP/WPA/etc... |

Hi, Good point, and I would agree with you. But why is it seeing a network that only has a strength of 7% as apposed to my network which is 100%, and is the last network to be seen. |
