Optimizing Wireless Performance
The speed and operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based
on the physical placement of the wireless router. You should choose a location for your router that
will maximize the network speed.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation
or inability to wirelessly connect to the router. For complete range and
performance specifications, click the link to the online document “Wireless
Networking Basics” in Appendix B.
The following list describes how to optimize wireless router performance.
•
Identify critical wireless links.
If your network has several wireless devices, decide which wireless devices need the highest
data rate, and locate the router near them. Many wireless products have automatic data-rate
fallback, which allows increased distances without loss of connectivity. This also means that
devices that are farther away might be slower. Therefore, the most critical links in your
network are those where the traffic is high and the distances are great. Optimize those first.
•
Choose placement carefully.
For best results, place your router:
•
–
Near the center of the area in which your computers will operate.
–
In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected computers
have line-of-sight access (even if through walls).
–
Avoid obstacles to wireless signals.
–
Keep wireless devices at least 2 feet from large metal fixtures such as file cabinets,
refrigerators, pipes, metal ceilings, reinforced concrete, and metal partitions.
–
Keep away from large amounts of water such as fish tanks and water coolers.
Reduce interference.
–
Avoid windows unless communicating between buildings.
–
Place wireless devices away from various electromagnetic noise sources, especially those
in the 2400–2500 MHz frequency band. Common noise-creating sources are:
•
Computers and fax machines (no closer than 1 foot)
•
Copying machines, elevators, and cell phones (no closer than 6 feet)

•
Microwave ovens (no closer than 10 feet)
Choose your settings.
–
Use a scanning utility to determine what other wireless networks are operating nearby, and
choose an unused channel.
–
Turn off SSID broadcast, and change the default SSID. Other nearby devices might
automatically try to connect to your network several times a second, which can cause
significant performance reduction.
Use WMM to improve the performance of voice and video traffic over the wireless link.
Changing the MTU Size
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits.
When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets travel
through many devices along the way. If any device in the data path has a lower MTU setting than
the other devices, the data packets must be split or “fragmented” to accommodate the one with the
smallest MTU.
The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often just the default value, and changing the
value might fix one problem but cause another. Leave MTU unchanged unless one of these
situations occurs:
•
You have problems connecting to your ISP, or other Internet service, and either the technical
support of the ISP or of NETGEAR recommends changing the MTU size. These might require
an MTU change:
–
A secure Web site that will not open, or displays only part of a Web page
–
Yahoo e-mail
–
MSN
–
America Online’s DSL service
•
You use VPN and have severe performance problems.
•
You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you have
connectivity or performance problems.
Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication problems such as the
inability to access certain Web sites, frames within Web sites, secure login pages,
or FTP or POP servers.
Fine-Tuning Your Network
5-15
v1.0, August 2010
If you suspect an MTU problem, a common solution is to change the MTU size to 1400. If you are
willing to experiment, you can gradually reduce the MTU size from the maximum value of 1500
until the problem goes away. Table 5-1 describes common MTU sizes and applications.
Table 5-1. Common MTU Sizes
MTU
Application
1500
The largest Ethernet packet size and the default value. This is the typical setting for nonPPPoE, non-VPN connections, and is the default value for NETGEAR routers, adapters,
and switches.
1492
Used in PPPoE environments.
1472
Maximum size to use for pinging. (Larger packets are fragmented.)
1468
Used in some DHCP environments.
1460
Usable by AOL if you do not have large e-mail attachments, for example.
1436
Used in PPTP environments or with VPN.
1400
Maximum size for AOL DSL.
576
Typical value to connect to dial-up ISPs.
To change the MTU size:
1. In the main menu, under Advanced, select WAN Setup.
2. In the MTU Size field, enter a new size between 64 and 1500.
3. Click Apply to save the new configuration.
Overview of Home and Small Office Networking
Technologies
Common connection types and their speed and security considerations are:
•
Broadband Internet. Your Internet connection speed is determined by your modem type,
such as ADSL or cable modem, as well as the connection speed of the sites to which you
connect, and general Internet traffic. ADSL and cable modem connections are asymmetrical,
meaning they have a lower data rate to the Internet (upstream) than from the Internet
(downstream). Keep in mind that when you connect to another site that also has an
asymmetrical connection, the data rate between your sites is limited by each side’s upstream
data rate. A typical residential ADSL or cable modem connection provides a downstream
throughput of about 1 to 3 megabits per second (Mbps). Newer technologies such as ADSL2+
and Fiber to the Home (FTTH) will increase the connection speed to tens of Mbps.
Fine-Tuning Your Network
5-16
v1.0, August 2010
•
Wireless. Your N 150 Wireless Router WNR1000 v2h2 provides a wireless data
throughput of up to 150 Mbps. With the introduction of the newer WPA and WPA2 encryption
and authentication protocols, wireless security is extremely strong.
To get the best performance, use RangeMax NEXT adapters such as the WN511B for your
computers. Although the WNR1000 v2h2 router is compatible with older 802.11b and 802.11g
adapters, the use of these older wireless technologies in your network can result in lower
throughput overall (typically less than 10 Mbps for 802.11b and less than 40 Mbps for
802.11g). In addition, many older wireless products do not support the latest security
protocols, WPA and WPA2.
•
Powerline. For connecting rooms or floors that are blocked by obstructions or are distant
vertically, consider networking over your building’s AC wiring. NETGEAR’s Powerline HD
family of products delivers up to 200 Mbps to any outlet, while the older-generation XE
family of products delivers 14 Mbps or 85 Mbps. Data transmissions are encrypted for
security, and you can configure an individual network password to prevent neighbors from
connecting.
The Powerline HD family of products can coexist on the same network with older-generation
XE family products or HomePlug 1.0 products, but they are not interoperable with these older
products.
•
Wired Ethernet. As gigabit-speed Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps) become common on
newer computers, wired Ethernet remains a good choice for speed, economy, and security.
Gigabit Ethernet can extend up to 100 meters with twisted-pair wiring of Cat 5e or better. A
wired connection is not susceptible to interference, and eavesdropping would require a
physical connection to your network.
Note: Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors,
including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and
network overhead, can lower actual data throughput rate.
Assessing Your Speed Requirements
Because your Internet connection is likely to operate at a much lower speed than your local
network, faster local networking technologies might not improve your Internet experience.
However, many emerging home applications require high data rates. For example:
•
Streaming HD video requires 10 to 30 Mbps per stream. Because latency and packet loss can
disrupt your video, plan to provide at least twice the capacity you need.
Fine-Tuning Your Network
5-17
v1.0,August 2010
•
Streaming MP3 audio requires less than 1 Mbps per stream and does not strain most modern
networks. Like video, however, streaming audio is also sensitive to latency and packet loss, so
a congested network or a noisy link can cause problems.
•
Backing up computers over the network has become popular due to the availability of
inexpensive mass storage. Table 5-2 shows the time to transfer 1 gigabyte (1 GB) of data using
various networking technologies.

The Power light stays amber.
When the router is turned on, the Power light turns amber for about 20 seconds and then turns
green. If the light does not turn green, the router has a problem.
If the Power light is still amber 1 minute after turning on power to the router:
1. Turn the power off and back on to see if the router recovers.
2. Clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s IP address to
www.routerlogin.net. This procedure is explained in “Restoring the Default Configuration and
Password” on page 7-12.
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact Technical Support.
The Internet light stays amber.
When the router is turned on, the Internet light turns amber for about 20 seconds and then turns
green. If the light does not turn green, the router has a problem.
If the Internet light is still amber 1 minute after turning on power to the router:
1. The Internet is not accessible. Confirm that you have the correct internet setting.
2. Clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s IP address to
www.routerlogin.net. This procedure is explained in “Restoring the Default Configuration and
Password” on page 7-12.
3. Turn the power off and back on to see if the router recovers.
The Internet or LAN port lights are not on.

v1.0, August 2010
2. Check that PIN verification has succeeded for the WPS-enabled device you are connecting to
the router.
3. Make sure you have not pushed the push-button after disabling the WPS function (you logged
into the router and disabled this previously).
4. Check that the router is not in the temporary AP setup locked state (if you are using the
wireless repeater function).
For more information on WPS, see “Using Push 'N' Connect (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)” on
page 2-13.
Login Problems
If you are unable to log in to the wireless router, check the following:
•
If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection between the
computer and the router as described in the NETGEAR Wireless Router Setup Manual.
•
Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is
admin and the password is password. Make sure that the Caps Lock is off when entering this
information.
•
Make sure your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If your are using the
recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should be in the range of
192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Refer to your computer’s documentation or see “Preparing
Your Network” in Appendix B for help with configuring your computer.
Note: If your computer cannot reach a DHCP server, some operating systems will
assign an IP address in the range 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this
range, verify that you have a good connection from the computer to the router,
then restart (reboot) your computer.
•
If your router’s IP address has been changed and you don’t know the current IP address, reset
the router’s configuration to the factory defaults. This procedure will reset the router’s IP
address to 192.168.1.1 (see “Default Configuration Settings” in Appendix A).
•
Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet
Explorer, click Refresh to be sure the Java applet is loaded. Try closing the browser and
reopening it again.

v1.0, August 2010
•
If you are attempting to set up your NETGEAR router as an additional router behind an
existing router in your network, consider replacing the existing router instead. NETGEAR
does not support such a configuration.
•
If you are attempting to set up your NETGEAR router as a replacement for an ADSL gateway
in your network, the router cannot perform many gateway services, for example, converting
ADSL or Cable data into Ethernet networking information. NETGEAR does not support such
a configuration.
Checking the Internet Service Connection
If you can access your router, but your router is unable to access the Internet, review the topics in
this section:
•
“Obtaining an Internet IP Address”
•
“Troubleshooting PPPoE”
•
“Troubleshooting Internet Browsing”
Obtaining an Internet IP Address
If your wireless router is unable to access the Internet, and your Internet light is amber, check the
wireless router to see if it is able to get an Internet IP address from your service provider. Unless
you have a static IP address, your wireless router automatically requests an IP address from your
service provider.
To check your wireless router’s Internet IP address:
1. Log in to the wireless router.
2. Select Router Status, under Maintenance in the main menu, to check that an IP address is
shown for the Internet Port. If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your wireless router has not obtained an IP
address from your service provider.
If your router is unable to obtain an IP address from the your service provider, the problem might
be one of the following:
Troubleshooting
7-6
v1.0, August 2010
•
You might need to force your cable or DSL modem to recognize your new router by restarting
your network, in the sequence described in the NETGEAR Wireless Router Setup Manual.
•
Your service provider might require a login. Ask your service provider whether they require a
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) login (see “Troubleshooting PPPoE” on page 7-7).
•
You might have incorrectly set the service name, user name or password. Review your
router’s Basic Settings screen.
•
Your service provider might check for your computer's host name. Assign the computer Host
Name of your ISP account to the wireless router on the Basic Settings screen.
•
Your service provider might only allow one Ethernet MAC address to connect to the Internet,
and check for your computer’s MAC address. If this is the case:
–
Inform your service provider that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to
use the wireless router’s MAC address, or
–
Configure your router to spoof your computer’s MAC address. On the Basic Settings
screen in the Router MAC Address section, select “Use this Computer’s MAC Address”
and click Apply. Then restart your network in the correct sequence (see the NETGEAR
Wireless Router Setup Manual for instructions).
Troubleshooting PPPoE
If you are using PPPoE, try troubleshooting your Internet connection.
To troubleshoot a PPPoE connection:
1. Log in to the wireless router.
2. Select Router Status under Maintenance on the main menu.
3. Click Connection Status. If all of the steps indicate “OK,” then your PPPoE connection is up
and working.
If any of the steps indicate “Failed,” you can attempt to reconnect by clicking Connect. The
wireless router will continue to attempt to connect indefinitely.
If you cannot connect after several minutes, you might be using an incorrect service name,
user name, or password. There also might be a provisioning problem with your ISP.
Note: Unless you connect manually, the wireless router will not authenticate using
PPPoE until data is transmitted to the network.
Troubleshooting
7-7
v1.0, August 2010
Troubleshooting Internet Browsing
If your wireless router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any web pages
from the Internet, check the following:
•
Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses. A DNS server is a host on
the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric IP addresses.
Typically, your ISP will provide the addresses of one or two DNS servers for your use. If you
entered a DNS address during the wireless router’s configuration, restart your computer.
Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with a DNS address, as explained in
the documentation for your computer.
•
Your computer might not have the wireless router configured as its default gateway.
Reboot the computer and verify that the wireless router address (www.routerlogin.net) is listed
by your computer as the default gateway address.
•
You might be running login software that is no longer needed. If your ISP provided a
program to log you in to the Internet (such as WinPoET), you no longer need to run that
software after installing your router. You might need to go to Internet Explorer and select
Tools > Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and select Never dial a connection.
If the wireless router does not save changes you have made in the browser interface, check the
following:
•
When entering configuration settings, be sure to click Apply before moving to another screen
or tab, or your changes could be lost.
•
Click Refresh or Reload in the Web browser. The changes might have occurred, but the Web
browser might be caching the old configuration.
Troubleshooting Your Network Using the Ping Utility
Most network devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to the
designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. Troubleshooting a network is
made very easy by using the ping utility in your computer or workstation. This section includes:
•
“Testing the LAN Path to Your Router”
•
“Testing the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device”
Troubleshooting
7-8
v1.0, August 2010
Testing the LAN Path to Your Router
You can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up
correctly.
To ping the router from a running Windows PC:
1. From the Windows toolbar, click Start, and then select Run.
2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the router, as in this example:
ping www.routerlogin.net
3. Click OK.
You should see a message like this one:
Pinging  with 32 bytes of data
If the path is working, you see this message:
Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
If the path is not working, you see this message:
Request timed out
If the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:
•
•
Wrong physical connections
–
For a wired connection, make sure that the numbered LAN port light is on for the port
to which you are connected. If the light is off, follow the instructions in
“Troubleshooting Basic Functions” on page 7-2.
–
Check that the appropriate LEDs are on for your network devices. If your router and
computer are connected to a separate Ethernet switch, make sure that the link lights
are on for the switch ports that are connected to your computer and router.
Wrong network configuration
–
–
Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed
and configured on your computer.
Verify that the IP address for your router and your computer are correct and that the
addresses are on the same subnet.
Troubleshooting
7-9
v1.0, August 2010
Testing the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device
After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a remote
device.
1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button, and then select Run.
2. In the Windows Run window, type:
ping -n 10 
where  is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.
If the path is functioning correctly, replies like those shown in the previous section are displayed.
If you do not receive replies:
•
Check that your computer has the IP address of your router listed as the default gateway. If the
IP configuration of your computer is assigned by DHCP, this information is not be visible in
your computer’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed as the
default gateway as described in the online document you can access from “Preparing Your
Network” in Appendix B.
•
Check to see that the network address of your computer (the portion of the IP address specified
by the subnet mask) is different from the network address of the remote device.
•
Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.
•
If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter that host name as the account name
in the Basic Settings screen.
•
Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your computers.
Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of your
broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single
computer connected to that modem. If this is the case, you must configure your router to
“clone” or “spoof” the MAC address from the authorized computer. For more information, see
“Using the Setup Manual” on page 1-1.
Problems with Date and Time
Select E-mail under Content Filtering in the main menu to display a screen that shows the current
date and time of day. The WNR1000 v2h2 router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the
current time from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is
stamped with the date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include the
following:
Troubleshooting
7-10
v1.0, August 2010
•
Date shown is January 1, 2000.
Cause: The router has not yet successfully reached a network time server. Check that your
Internet access settings are correct. If you have just completed configuring the router, wait at
least 5 minutes, and check the date and time again.
•
Time is off by one hour.
Cause: The router does not adjust for daylight savings time. In the E-mail screen, select the
Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time check box.
Problems with Wireless Adapter Connections
If your wireless adapter is unable to connect, check its connection settings.
To check the adapter’s connection settings:
1. open the adapter setup utility to check connections:
•
NETGEAR Smart Wizard utility. If you installed a NETGEAR wireless adapter in your
computer, a Smart Wizard utility program is installed that can provide helpful information
about your wireless network. You can find this program in your Windows Program menu
or as an icon in your system tray. Other wireless card manufacturers might include a
similar program.
•
Windows basic setup utility. If you have no specific wireless card setup program
installed, you can use the basic setup utility in Windows:
–
Open the Windows Control Panel, and double-click Network Connections.
–
In the LAN section, double-click Wireless Network Connection.
2. Use the adapter’s setup program to scan for available wireless networks, looking for the
network name (SSID) of NETGEAR, or your custom SSID if you have changed it.
3. If your wireless network appears and has good signal strength, configure and test with the
simplest wireless connection possible.
If your wireless network does not appear, check these conditions:
•
Is your router’s wireless radio enabled? See “Viewing Advanced Wireless Settings” on
page 2-11.
•
Is your router’s SSID broadcast enabled? See “Viewing Advanced Wireless Settings” on
page 2-11.
Troubleshooting
7-11
v1.0, August 2010
•
Is your router set to a wireless standard that is not supported by your wireless adapter? Check
the Mode setting as described in “Viewing and Configuring Basic Internet Settings” on
page 1-6.
If your wireless network appears, but the signal strength is weak, check these conditions:
•
Is your router too far from your adapter, or too close? Place the computer that has the adapter
near the router, but at least 6 feet away, and see whether the signal strength improves.
•
Is your wireless signal obstructed by objects between the router and your adapter? See
“Optimizing Wireless Performance” on page 5-14.
Restoring the Default Configuration and Password
This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings that reset the
router’s user name to admin, the password to password, and the IP address to 192.168.1.1.
Warning: These procedures erase all current configuration settings.
You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:
•
Use the Erase function of the router. To use the Erase function, see “Erasing the
Configuration” on page 6-8.
•
Use the restore factory settings button on the rear panel of the router. Use this method for cases
when the administration password or IP address is not known.
To use the restore settings button:
1. Locate the restore factory settings button on the rear panel of the router.
2. Use a sharp object such as a pen or a paper clip to press and hold the restore factory settings
button for about 5 seconds, until the Power light begins to blink.
3. Release the restore factory settings button, and wait for the router to restart, and for the Power
light to stop blinking and become solid green.
The factory default settings will be restored so that you can access the router from your Web
browser using the factory defaults.
