If it were not the installation. , , ,

Vorneweg. The WN2000 I have for quite some time. For us the problem is that the routers on the first floor is completely outside on a wall. Thus, it is clear that the signal which is very weak on the ground floor and then arrives on the other side of the house. For this reason I decided to buy me a repeater. I chose just be simple, and went on WN2000 its first installation. He thereby an own access point created on the one newly aufwählen does not bother me so completely. If you need a better reception is that switching to the new access point for me not too annoying. The quality of the signal can not really criticize. Also simple and well resolved is the function - hot I do not, I turn you out. The device has an easy accessible on-off switch because you have such a device is not indeed always run. Pleasant are also the four LAN ports, which I usually never needed. Here you can after all but then it may be wrong to say not when they have been.

But. Yesterday I got the DHCP standard off for a problem on the network (the variable assignment of addresses on the network). We 14 devices flying around the network, 2 PC with Win7, a notebook with WinXP, an H340 with Windows Home Server, an Internet-capable TV and BluRay player, a tablet with Android, and diverse products with Apple's iOS, and two network printers from Epson or Samsung. So all different operating systems. In any system I needed no more than like 2 minutes so that the respective IP of dynamic has been converted to static. Everything was simple, everything was logical. But then came the WN2000. I sat one hour off? No longer. No matter what you tried you did not come to the user interface. The repeater condescended not so that they could access it. About WLAN no thought was losing it and eventually it went via cable. Worked as little. Only after a long search on the internet found the solution. You had the network card of the PC with its own IP Setup, and then you could only enter the IP of the repeater in the Internet access program and then did what. There appeared a screen, which I had never seen before. From there we went but a little fixer vorran and eventually I was able to say everything changed. Only 13 units have just lasted longer than one.

As I've done that:
I had a netbook with Windows 7 uses.

Connection via LAN cable

x You have to adjust your TCP / IP network card the following in the Network Control
Static IP: 192.168.1.100 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0

x If this IP has changed you have the address

Copy x /192.168.1.250 in the address bar of an Internet access program

x If all is correct will open the user interface of the repeater
Change the settings you want here

x And after everything has changed course in the PC Reset everything on the old stand!

My Conclusion. A relatively thoughtful amplifier if you do not expect much. But once you want something that will over the default installation path of this device seems overwhelmed. If he runs then it runs. Only the installation is partially gruesome.
