After HOURS of trying to connect wireless to a computer (through a router) I gave up. Has anyone succeeded in connecting via NIC from a router?

I had no problem connecting - what are you trying to do and what have you tried? Are you using a wireless access point?

It will configure independently from the current NIC. It will behave similar to a typical laptop setup with a wired NIC and a wireless one when used on a desktop. Hope this helps.

Same problem here. Worked like a champ for about 2 weeks and now it is useless. Constantly dropping connections, I can't get any of my smartphones to connect, etc. I have tried everything, including the suggestions above as well as going back to the Classic only wireless option. I will certainly admit I have a lot of requirements: 3 laptops, 2 iPhones, a streaming media player, a network bridge, a network printer etc. but there has to be something out there that will work.

I'm having trouble also. I get it to connect, but when I turn off the machine when it's not in use, it won't connect the next time I use it. I have to re-enter all the network/WEP info all over again. Any ideas?

Connecting to the network router only works with firmware v2.0.1. If you update to 2.0.4/2.0.5 it doesn't work.

I had a problem with a cisco router but it was a refurbished one so I suggest you try cisco first cause Netgear is allergic to Apple products. It finds the network but doesnt want to connect and I even tried the master reset , no password and everything else I could think of

Yes. I turned the computer on right out of the box and I was connected to the internet. I have a wireless router in my house. Except for the cursor issue, it is a great computer.

Hi Kevin. Can you describe this problem that you encounter with your router? Also include the troubleshooting steps that you did, or if you've tried calling our support team, or if you've have browsed through our support site/knowledge-base for troubleshooting info. Thanks.

I had the same problem. I was able to connect it to my router and to my phone via tethering. The module worked ok only for 6 hours and then stopped working. After a reboot to the system, the control panel continuously rebooted with an error message until the module was removed. Since I had another control panel with the same module that worked OK, I have filed a claim to return the item as I consider it defective. I will get another one.

It's not a router, but connecting one of the ports to a router might work. You'd still need a router somewhere in your network.

You need to plug it in and configure the unit to connect with your router (fairly simple) but my experience is that these units do not work that well. I returned mine. Good luck!

I can't get it to hook up to my wireless network because apparently the network is WEP secured. I can get my work laptop to hook up when I bring that home with no issue, so thought it was fine. NOPE! It won't work. When I did a search online I found that this is a common issue with others and there's nothing you can do about it. :-( I bought it so my son can play downloaded games and watch YouTube. Guess I wasted my money and got his hopes up for nothing.

Yes, it would not connect to my wireless router. I finally got a Honeywell wireless thermostat and had no problems.

I installed a Netgear A6200 adapter. I had to download the most current driver off my laptop onto a thumb drive, then install it on the Cyberpower. Once I had the most recent driver, the machine was Wi-Fi.

Yes I did, it was a little tricky. I finally got frustrated and called tech support, they took control of my computer and got it connected in less than 10 minutes. The instructions seam to be off a little bit in that area. Call tech support, they are great. Hope this helps

Sorry but no, this unit will only connect to the network via a wireless connection. The LAN ports on the unit are access ports for clients not network ports.

Double check ips, subnet, gateway, all that.. I had to mess with network settings a bit to get it to connect. Then you can do use the proxy like everyone else is saying.
