[QUOTE="skays, post: 1879702, member: 137863"] One other thing I found interesting. On the back of the Netgear AP device is the url address to go to Netgear website so you can make changes to settings, username, password, etc, for the Netgear AP device. It appears this url address is basically an IP address with 'http://' in front of it. My iMac System Preferences/Network shows my iMac connected with Ethernet "Status: [B]Connected.[/B] But the IP address shown is different than the IP address type number used as part of the url address on the back of the Netgear AP device. Should they not be the same? I also noticed the Wi-Fi IP address is different than the other two just mentioned?? I typed in the url address on the back of the Netgear AP in my browser and got nothing...no connection with anything. Again, my iMac is connected to the Netgear AP via an ethernet cable. I then tried the same thing using the the IP address shown in System Preferences/Network as part of the url address and also got nothing. Something wrong? Again, a tech will be coming by sometime today to check it out, but thought I would ask in advance. [/QUOTE]
