| 1139704 | 2010-09-28 10:09:00 | Mac address and apple mac have nothing at all in common. ;) | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1139705 | 2010-09-28 10:46:00 | I know, I know but if I look up my mac address on my iphone it starts with 7c and my router won't accept anything other than 00 as the start digits. I may be even more challenged than I give myself credit for.... but really thats beside the point the linksys is still crap! | Petja (16002) | ||
| 1139706 | 2010-09-28 11:02:00 | Wratterus, what did you get as a replacement, happy? Got a NetComm NB6Plus4Wn, so far extremely happy. |

| 1139707 | 2010-09-28 11:07:00 | ... fair enough :D | SoniKalien (792) | ||
| 1139708 | 2010-09-28 19:11:00 | The NB6Plus4Wn is a nice all-in-one solution that will largely "just work" straight outta the box, and yes it works fine with iPhones, I had one myself for a couple of years and used it lots while setting up many customers with the NB6Plus4Wn. Money permitting, I'd go for the Airport Extreme though with the AM300 in half-bridge personally ;) |

| 1139709 | 2010-09-28 20:32:00 | You seem to always recommend the AM300 in half-bridge just wondering if I would notice any difference if I set mine to half bridge? (Not sure what mine is right now) | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1139710 | 2010-09-28 20:43:00 | It depends on what you're doing with it. Half-bridge basically just uses the device as an authentication device (It authenticates with your ISP) and converts from your phone connection to an RJ45. Long story short, it gives whatever device is behind it the public Internet IP Address, which means you don't end up getting stung with things like double-NAT which can be a PITA for gaming and things, not to mention you won't be filling up the limited NAT state table of the AM300. Provided you have the firmware ending in .04, why not give it a shot? Aside from a few minutes, what do you have to lose? ;) My only question would be: What device is behind you AM300? |

| 1139711 | 2010-09-29 03:26:00 | Netgear WGR614v7 Modem Software Version: 1.19.02 Is that alright? |
nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1139712 | 2010-09-29 05:12:00 | Needs to be 1.19.04 It'll mean things like port-forwarding likely work better. Then, it should work a treat, just make sure the Netgear has the WAN port set to DHCP, then in the AM300 tick "Half-bridge" and you're away laughing :) Actually, double-check that the AM300 has DHCP turned on, at least for 1-2 leases, I couldn't get it working passing the public IP through without it for some reason when I last tried.. |
