How to handle lack of WPS button on new Home Internet Router
Hi, I got the new Home Internet Cylinder router. Pretty simple setup but the speeds are good and the price is right. I have a few devices I have always used WPS to connect. Some extenders and some...
Same problem with WPS. My canon IP8720 wide format printer can ONLY connect via USB or WiFi.
It does not have screen or control panel to manually enter the WiFi settings and since it is needs to connect to three different Pc's in different rooms, USB is not an option. I am now using a Netgear WNDR4500V3 in AP mode and everything works for a while. But about once a week the WNDR "freezes" and drops all connections, WiFi and LAN. I bought a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and still had the same issue. Resetting the Nokia5G21 does not have any effect, but resetting either of the two routers does start it up again.
Also, I have a Swann 8 camera security system and needs a reserved IP Address. I live in a rural area and we are prone to frequent power outages and running the Swann setup each time is time consuming.
Also, my Ambient 2902 weather station (4G only) refuses to connect to the 5G21. (WiFi 5G Hi & Lo temporarily disabled as required)
Other that, speeds are great, usually 200 down sometimes it hits 360 or so.
Any suggestions on the Netgear freeze problem would be appreciated.
