Help setting up wifi router

i have just bought a netgear wifi router and i can not get it to work. does anyone know of a guide to set it up?

RE
Hi!
Netgear haa a very good forum for its products. You can try there for better luck

i found it no help!
getting there now. well i can acess my computer via resco file explorer.
just now need to set the internet up

2 questions,
Do you need to set up the router ? Or do you need to set up your ppc ?

prob both,
i can browse my desktop pc wirelessly using resco file explorer but i can not use the internet.
so it still could be both, i still can not connect to activesync, probably if i can do this i would be able to connect to the net as i can when the blue angle is docked

You might want to down load vxUtil from http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html with this util you can most likely find out what is wrong. You should not need activesync to connect to the Internet, **IF** your router connects to the Internet.
To activesync with the PC you will need to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP on the PC. Then you'll need to be able to PING your PC by name. And both the PC and the PPC need to be using the same DHCP server, and in the same network.
As you can reach your desktop, have you set both settings to "Work" or some form of this on your PPC, and checked just "This network connects to the Internet" under proxxy settings for the work connection? Each version of the PPC OS seems to change the names here just a bit.

File sharing over ad-hoc wifi

I just bought a usb wi-fi dongle so that i can connect to my wizard in office over wi-fi. Can anyone give any pointers how can i do file sharing in ad-hoc mode in such a way that i can access files on my office PC through my wizard without having a separate access point.
I tried connecting through ad-hoc mode and my wizard connects to the PC but doesn't show any shared folders and cannot find my PC (not even through IP) when using resco file explorer...

To browse network folder on your HTC you should install some additional software. I've tried PocketLAN to share files between notebook and HTC via Wi-Fi. It've been working flawlessly. But you have to set IP and network mask on your HTC as it's in the office network.

Hmmm, i just installed pocketlan...I saw that my PPC gets an IP of 169.254.11.69 (subnet mask 255.255.0.0) and mycomp gets an ip of 169.254.87.204. Now am able to ping my comp using pocketlan on my PPC but am not able to map it. Whenever i try to do it, it says network address/name cannot be found.

that's strange What OS do you use?

You don't need any 3rd party software...
The Wizard will do this with it's built in file explorer.

Windows XP is the OS...

Did it finally after umpteen number of tries...Turns out ICS is necessary even for simple file sharing even though i do not want to surf net thru my PC's connection. And I also had to unplug my lan cable as the IP windows tries to assign once ICS is on is 192.168.0.x and this range is already used by my lan thus causing a conflict...Anyways, its better than nothing..I just wanted a faster medium to transfer files than BT which is painfully slow..
Any idea when are they going to provide an upgrade to BT 2.0 for wizard?

internet through WIFI settings help needed

hello...iam trying to connect my wizard to my PC using WIFI so i can use the internet connection of the PC on my Wizard.....iam able to connect the PC and WIZARD and even access files on the PC using the WIZARD....iam using a ad-hoc connection as my PC is equipped with a wireless network card (dont have a router unfortunately)....both the Wizard and PC are assigned static IPs(when i use DHCP on the Wizard it just refuses to pick up an IP address).....the issue iam having is i simply cant access the internet through the PC even though INTERNET CONNECTION SHARING is enabled on my PC and i know a netwrok connection between the PC and WIZARD has been established because both devices can ping each other...am i missing something???....thanks in advance for any help

do you have a firewall? you could try turning it off for a few mins see if thats causing problems.
if it is the firewall you can usually add the card as trusted.
i know norton stops all sort of things it shouldnt.

not using any firewall.....anything else ? what about connection settings on the WIZARD ?

That can be the problem. Do you have connections setup? If I remember correctly, you need at lest one setting setup. Who is your carrier? You can find cab files in this forum to make it very easy for you.

VPN and Network Share over Data connection?

Hi all,
Has anyone succeded to browse a network share once connected by VPN to internal network over a data connection (not wifi, only 3G, gprs, cellular carried)? Over wifi it's possible using TC or even IE browser method.
It's strange that if i use vxutils or pocketlan i can ping the pc where that share is located, either by IP or NetBios name. I can even SSH over putty, or RDP using IP, not NetBios. All this is done when connect to VPN over cellular.
So my question is why doesn't that share appears, giving an error that the network path wasn't found?
It's obvious not because TC, since it works over wifi, and ping with vxutils or pocketlan recognizes netbios name. Why do these tools can use netbios and file browsers can't?
Can it be because it's using cellular line? Does anyone have any ideia why?

Accessing SMB Server / USB Drive on Wireless Router

My D-Link DIR-880L wireless router has a couple of USB ports for connecting hardware. I tried this feature for the first time last night with a 64GB USB 3.0 drive. The Kodi app on my Nexus Player and Nexus 5 is able to access the USB drive through the SMB server on my router after I manually add its 192.168.0.1 IP address. ES File Explorer and some other apps that I've tried are not able to access it, however, as they only detect shared folders of PCs on the LAN. D-Link's SharePort Mobile app also works but the design and features on it are very basic. Does anyone else here have a similar setup and if so, which apps have you found that can access files through SMB on a USB drive connected directly to your router?

Es file explorer should work great

You would think so but as seen in the third picture I attached to my original post, ES File Explorer is not able to see or access the SMB server / USB drive on my router. "Error, cannot find the server." On the other hand, Kodi really is some brilliant software.

I was trying to do the same couldn't figure it out saw someone online change sever to like ip/u_disk/usb_1/ i haven't tried it but if you figure it out can you let me know?

I have a Linksys WRT1200AC that also has USB. I got mine to work by putting // in front of the IP address. Try putting in: //192.168.0.1 & see how that works.

None of the suggestions above worked for me. I e-mailed the ES File Explorer developers about this a couple of weeks ago and they said that they are trying to solve this problem. The new ES File Explorer v4.0.2.2 update did not address this matter, unfortunately.

File manager pro it also have lan, ftp and a few other network ways to connect. I like it. when you put the ip in and run "test connection" it at least thinks for a minute before it says it cant so im sure im using a wrong setting and it should work if i knew what i was doing.

I am too having the same problems with both the router and my MBP. I'm unable to get access to either one.

I have a setup like this only with a netgear router. Have es scan instead of you entering the address. I have always had it scan and never had an issue.
