I have a Netgear DG834G v4. Wireless connection is fine, ISP is fine and Internet via wireless is perfect. Nothing via the LAn ports seems to work. Both XP and Win 7 machines see Lan as an undefined opuclic (not home) network and will not connect Have upgrades routers firmware - no change Hard reboot of router with all settings re-entered - No change Also changed cables etc Any thoughts?

Connect a LAN cable from the Netgear to the LAN port on yourcomputer, open a browser and enter the Netgear configuration URL -
http://192.168.0.1
The default login = admin
The default PW = passwordYou can now change the default admin password and configurethe wireless settings.
Go to the wireless configuration and set up the SSID and WPA or WPA2encryption.
Apply these settings to the wireless card in your laptop/computer.

yes you can use as a wireless access point by plugging lan cable in to the yellow coloured port on your netgear not any of ports, have a good day....

is that wired connection or wireless? if it is wired, checked the cable and the port, make sure that the LAN connection is enabled.

if it is for wireless, checked the wireless settings of the router, enable the wireless card of the wireless computer and, verify the wireless settings of the netgear adapter and from there connect to it.

Please try to use a difrent DNS service.
For example open DNS:
Primary: 208.67.222.222
Secundary: 208.67.220.220

First of all find out the model and version number then visit netgear.com to download and install the lasted firmware.

Why Do I Need a Router When I Already Have an Internet Connection?

you need to ring your ISP to get a network user ID and password, when you enter these in to the router settings the Internet light will light up green.

you need to change the IP address of the router. Plug just the router into the computer. Open Internet Explorer and go to 192.168.1.1. user: admin password:password. On the main page it allows you to change the LAN IP. Make it 192.168.2.1. Now unplug everything and rewire it correctly. This should fix the issue. Verizon uses 192.168.1.1 for the modem well so does Netgear and this causes the network to not function. So changing the IP of the router should fix this issue and has worked for me many times that I have done that set up.

Make sure your firewall is not blocking your ability to go to websites. I saw this the other day, somehow the users firewall was set to block all internet traffic out of the computer.
