Do I need to reset my N600 router to factory settings once this modem is activated so the router would give off wreless signal?

That's always a good idea if it is not working. It wouldn't be the modems problem.

Your first two answers are good ones. I've had my RT- N12bfor well over a year and it has been flawless. I doubt I'll ever consider anything other than an ASUS in the future. Anyway, the suggestion to try a power cycle first is recommended. Failing that, perform a reset, connect the router directly to your modem by ethernet cable, access the router default IP address (which is 192.168.1.1) through your browser, and reconfigure through the router admin console. If that doesn't do it you may have a faulty device, which happens (it is electronics after all).

It's a cable router. Even though it wasn't working initially, once we reset the factory settings it's worked great

Did you adjust your wifi settings to the netgear 'extender'? Mine is a refurbish but it works excellent!!!

Bryan, I'm not an expert at any of this. Only once did I have any problem of this type. It came aboutafter I had re-set my wieless modem. I un plugged my radio for awhile and went back to defaultsettings . It found the signal and no problems since. I would check into the signal you are getting. ( if wireless) I'm still very pleased with this radio. It appears you are getting about the same advice Ted

I can not speak to that issue, however I do not care for mine. I have to reset my router everytime I use my smp-N100.I have two other wi-fi sony dvd players, 2 smart tvs, and another video streaming device, along with 4 smart phones, 3 tablets, and 2 computers that operate fine off this router, It is not the router!

kerry, i had a lot of help to get this thing going. between radiowerks and my teckie. if i understand my teckie right, once you change anything on the router, you start all over. off the top of my head i would do a total reset of everything. also move the module to the opposite side of the thermostat. i did have my module replaced.i hope this was of some help!glenn funck 602 992 6667

My guess is that you got a "dud". I have never had that happwwith ANY router bit. DO NOT USE IT. SEND IT BACK

No. It will work just fine. Be sure to use the reset button on the back (use a pin to push it). Hold it down for 10 seconds. It will reset the modem to its default manufacturer's settings (meaning it erasing any wifi password, internet firewalls, etc.)

Hi juan- simple - find a paper clip or a SIM card pin -- on this router locate the "reset" hidden grey button - use the PIN and "hard reset" the router by pressing it for 10 seconds

Hi, My advice is to return that piece of garbage,I bought it but I installed like a month and a half after, the worse router I ever had, very poor signal range, connection drops constantly, I tried to return it but it was too late, I threw 70 bucks to the garbage, if you can, again stay away from that router it will give you many headaches. It is the last time I buy a Netgear product. Good luck!

Hi Andrew. If your modem has wireless capability, then you may let the wireless adapter ( Belkin N600) connect to its network wirelessly. No need for another router if you already have one.

We cannot honestly tell exactly if that would help, unless we can identify that the problem is with your existing modem-router and/or the range extender (if we got that right). How far can the signal go with your modem-router? It would help if you can tell us more about your experience.

That's a more difficult setup Walter. Reason being is that you need to decouple the wireless router piece from your current setup. This is done by calling up your service provider and inquiring about how to make it a modem only unit because you have a better wireless router.Once done, it's as simple as plugging a cable from the old modem/router into the internet port of the new r6250.It's not that you didn't grasp the instructions, they were not written for your all-in-one device! make sure you understand the steps from your service provider clearly before executing my proposed solution.Good luck!

Don't use the reset button. That will reset all the router's settings to default. There is not power button. Disconnect the power and reconnect.
