Hi everyone,
I got a Netgear DG834GU v5 from an auction site for about R75 including shipping.
I basically want to use it as a range extender and also to connect a hard drive to it to share media with my laptop and cellphone.
So far it hasn't gone very well. about 10min after I switch it on (to get into its settings screen) my internet completely freezes. Google Chrome will try to load a webpage in vain.
That will probably be fixed with a little tweaking of the settings. My guess is DHCP is incorrectly setup.
I already have a TP-Link WR743ND Router and a TP-Link Range Extender that is working correctly.
Can I use this as a range extender or repeater whilst still using it to share files from a USB Hard drive?
The settings on my TP-Link are fairly easy to setup and is sort of selfexplanatory, but this netgear is NOT!
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
If it will help I can make a network map of the whole thing.
