Trek PR2000 DHCP problems, maintains a drop connections, perhaps workaround

Hello!

A few days ago, I bought the new Netgear Trek PR2000 mobile wireless router. Goal was to have a point of contact for all my devices while traveling and be able to connect to a hotspot or wifi in the hotel.

Configuration has been fine and I was able to connect to my home network in wireless client mode. My router is a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND running OpenWrt 12.09 Attitude Adjustment, wifi with WPA2-AES, DHCP service.

The Trek has been able to connect, and the whole system was running. Unfortunately, I realized, that the Trek has kept falling connections every 3-5 minutes with the genius of Netgear annoying pop up and try to re-establish a connection. Sometimes it worked, then the Trek cannot connect at all.

Since I read that OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment can be problems with some wifi connections, I have improved my WR1043ND barrier breaker. The connection drops continued, including OSX almost every minute. The WR1043ND showed various DHCP-wifi-a failed-to-recognize-errors and in his diary.

After trying all possible setting changes in the Trek-config (and shortly before returning the Trek), I found something as a workaround. In the Trek-config, I disabled the DHCP Server for the LAN area and assigned static IP addresses to connecting clients. Well at least so far, it seems to work very well. No more connections, no more boring engineering arise not interrupted and try to reconnect, the system seems to work.

But for now, I'm a little confused as to the reason. In my view, the Trek connects to a hotspot and gets an IP address assigned by DHCP from hotspot. Then the Trek uses NAT to connect the clients attached to the internet. Actually the IP addresses of the DHCP assigned by the Trek to customers connected to the LAN area shouldn't affect hotspot NETWORK settings at all. Normally the IP address and private DNS settings are just for private clients LAN, aren't they? If I'm not completely wrong in my assumption, there could be a bug in the DHCP server on the hike or the way how dynamic the client LAN IPs are handled. From the point where I changed to static IP in the LAN client, there was no error message in the log of the WR1043ND.

Strange thing... Maybe someone could correct me if my assumptions are wrong? BTW, I use the stock PR2000 Trek firmware (which is something like 1.0.0.9) since there is no other is available.

Thank you.

@hksteve I wish to inform you that the fix is now available from our download page.

Feel free to update your firmware and provide feedback.

Thank you!

  • The most convenient airport and Arris CM820 modem drop connection

    I have Airport Extreme 6 Gen and a few months back from a 'new' Arris CM820 Time Warner Cable modem. Since then, I did have slowly and dropped connection problems a day - mostly in the evening so that streaming on Apple TV and Roku, and navigation devices on the MacBook Air and iPads at the same time. Each time, I do unplug it, wait 30 seconds and plug back in and it's good for a while. But it happens almost every day. I have been emailing and talking by phone with a representative from Apple support for a few weeks (had a record of the case), then she disappeared on me. I've updated firmware (v 7.7.7). Have also tried using a 5 G network as an alternative - but there is no help. Anyone else having these issues with the 'new' modems THAT TWC sends?

    If you have already tested the modem, try to choose a time when you can turn off the AirPort router and connect your Mac directly to the modem for a day or two to try things like that.

    Alternatively, you can of course call TWC support and have them check the line and the modem, but you already know that they will say that "things seem good to here" and that "the problem must be another device, like your router. .. even though things worked very well before receiving the 'new' modem.

    If the MacBook Air listed in your slogan is the only Mac you have, then you will need a lightning Apple Ethernet adapter to perform this test.   Maid in Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple

    If connection problems continue when you have the Mac connected directly to the modem, the modem would then become a strong suspect.  This is possible.  But, it is also possible that the connection remains stable throughout your test... and if it's the result, TWC has strong arguments to say that their service and the modem are working well.

    Until then, you really don't know if you have a modem problem, a problem of the airport, or as can sometimes be the case... a modem - router compatibility issue. In such cases, the modem out OK and airport does as well, and each manufacturer blames the other for the problem.

    Please post on your 'test' results in the next few days.

  • Airport Extreme 7,7,7 drop connection and internet high speed

    My Airport Extreme (6th generation) have had the serious problems of the internet, as said in the title I had problems with my internet connection, I checked if that was the problem of the modem to the beginning (D3.0 Ubee) which was provided by my Internet, Charter provider.

    I've had Airport Extreme for almost a year to 2 years now and since then, I had no problem with my internet until 7.7.7 update came.

    I updated my firmware and this is where my random internet connection problem started.

    My current contract with the Charter are their 60 Mbps (download speed) and 4 Mbps (download speed), during the first days since I've updated 7.7.7 connections was fine and then my internet has started to decline since a means 50-60 Mbps (download speed) to 0.1 - 2 mb/s (download speed), my download speed has remained a constant 3-4 MB/s (download speed). I have tried and used Opendns several times, he really did nothing.

    I tried to turn off both modem and Airport extreme for a couple of minutes and turn on their return, but he does nothing and just refers to an extremely slow speed.

    The only way I found to fix my problem to get my internet to 0.1 - 2 mb/s (download speed) back to its original state, I find myself to be a restore return settings on the Airport Extreme with my Airport utility by default whenever the problem returns (which contributes to a certain degree as it gets my back up to 50 internet-60 MB/s) then he drops down again).

    I wanted to restore to 7.7.6 or the latest version of previous firmware before 7.7.7 (not too sure what version of firmware, it was) but I can't find how to spend my Airport extreme to my Airport utility.

    My question is what could I do to fix this problem if the decommissioning of my extreme (I need instructions with this too), change some settings, get rid of the * thing and get a new router, or am I stuck resetting to the parameter by default whenever she acts upward.

    I use windows 10 for my laptop

    Thank you for your time

    Unfortunately, the first question that you encountered is the AirPort for Windows utility has not been updated since Windows 7. In addition, it is not supported for use with the 802.11ac latest versions of airport base stations. Then downgrade to earlier versions of the firmware for base station can be difficult, unless you can get hold of a Mac or iOS device.

    If you are ready to test Windows 10, here are the steps to do:

    • Open the AirPort for Windows utility.
    • Select the base and then station in the utility menu bar, select the access point > Download Firmware...
    • Click on the Download Version dialog box, where the current version of the firmware is listed.
    • You should now see a list of the firmware versions that are available.
    • Click on the one you want to get off at.
    • Choose either 'continue' to continue with the downgrade, OR click 'Cancel' If you decide not to do so.
    • If you choose to continue, allow the firmware to be downloaded, installed and the base station to turn.

    Hello

    My pc works a Wi - Fi connection to the internet, but when I also connect a wired connection, my wireless connection is disabled and there is no option to run as well. I need to access other resources located on my LAN as well as maintaining my wireless connection for internet use.

    I have not had any problems to do this with windows xp at all, just, it worked. Is there a manual way to force or to disable the circuit network etc?

    I ran across this in HP Wireless Assistant help on my HP laptop. He talks about LAN/WLAN, switch on some models. You can check the BIOS (especially if you upgrade the BIOS recently for installing Windows 7) just to make sure and your properties of NETWORK card wireless and wired to see if there are similar settings.

  • Why programs not marked in the list of windows firewall exceptions are still able to maintain the internet connection?

    Original title: exceptions to firewall

    Can someone explain how I have after uncheck the programs in the list of windows firewall exceptions, they are still able to maintain an internet connection? I use XP sp3.

    1. what makes you think that this unnamed programs are still able to maintain an Internet connection?

    2 Windows Firewall blocks unsolicited incoming connections.  Thus, for example, if you (or malicious software), set up a FTP server running on your computer, Windows Firewall will block an application from the Internet on your computer that are trying to establish a connection and download some of your files.

    However, when your web browser sends a request to a Web site server to load a page, incoming web server traffic is allowed because it's in response to a request made on your computer.

    This distinction between the incoming and outgoing traffic is why some people insist that the third-party firewall, which usually block/monitor of traffic in both directions is required.  The scenario is that you inadvertently introduce malware on your computer (in any number of ways), and then the malware "phones home" to establish a link with the bad guys, who continue to do what they want on your computer.

    Hello


    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Perform the check and the boot if the problem persists.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: Follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

    Hope that helps.
