I'm sure there is a document out there with specific instructions and maybe someone here has that. Then disable DHCP on the netgear then move the connection from the WAN/Internet Port to one of the netgear LAN ports. The unit also supports dual 802.11a/n wireless bands. It has a 680 MHz processor, supports automatic Quality of Service (QoS), WPA/WPA2 encryption, multiple SSID and over 500 Mbps WAN to LAN troughput. Go high on the address since the actiontec starts at 192.168.1.2 and goes up for devices connecting. The WNDR3700 provides a better connection and less interference using Gigabit Ethernet ports for ultra-fast wired connections. It looks and feels a bit more hardcore than Tomato, and unlocks all sorts of features of the hardware that the factory firmware blocked access to. You would need to bridge the netgear, meaning plug into a LAN port on the netgear instead of the WAN/Internet port.īefore changing anything you would then need to give your LAN side of the netgear an IP address on the same network as the Actiontec. I’m now running the Netgear WNDR3700 (v1) N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router, and after playing around with the stock firmware, I installed DD-WRT on it, and couldn’t be happier with it. You are probably going into the WAN port on the netgear which means you are on a different network than the Actiontec. What IP address is your wireless devices getting?

You come out of a port on the Actiontec and go into what port on the Netgear? It shows the same IP address as what the WD is claiming.

From the router, I can see the MAC address of the WD. NETGEAR WNDR3700-100RUS 802.11n 300+300 / (2.4 5 ), 1 WAN 4 LAN-, 1 USB 2.0, IPTV. The device connects to the router and gets an IP address fine. Configured the WD to access the new network using the automatic option. Please explain how the connection is made between the Actiontec Router and the Netgear? Went from a Netgear WGT634U to the WNDR3700.
