  • Flawless connectivity for laptop - Android not so much - 2 ways to skin this cat - AWESOME wi-fi coverage.
Long post including setup information for NETGEAR genie PLW1010 (for those of you network gurus, please don’t laugh at me). Hopefully this will help save some hair-pulling. Biggest thing to keep in mind is it WILL work, so don’t let your stomach get into knots. I originally performed the connection exactly as written in the book. It worked flawlessly. But when I tried to set up my phone, and then security, the wheels fell off the wagon, so to speak. If I were to do it again, I would do as follows: SET UP SECURITY FIRST. You WANT a secured wi-fi router… these things blast a wide wi-fi signal outside of your home, and you do NOT want a perv sitting out there downloading kiddie-porn off your unsecured ISP/IP address. There is a long history of owners being prosecuted for having an unsecured wi-fi router that let this occur! I set up my security second, and that’s where it got more complicated for me. 1. Plug in both the base unit and the wi-fi unit where they will live. a. Follow the booklet’s instructions for finding a good outlet, etc. b. At this point, if you follow the booklet’s instructions, you will be up and connected with your laptop, but you will not be secure. c. You will then have to go through some of the hair-pulling I did. 2. Secure the base-unit part of this duo: a. Connect an Ethernet cable (2 come with this package) to a laptop/desktop and to the base portion of this (it connects to your ISP’s router using an Ethernet cable also). At this point, you will have 2 Ethernet cables connected: 1 to ISP modem, and 1 to your computer. b. Using a browser, type in “mywifiext.net” > admin > password c. Click on Maintenance > Set Password and use “password” as the old. d. Change to the new password using letters, numbers, a special character or 2 and capture that somewhere (screenshots are good for this) e. Be sure to click Apply button to save your changes NOTE: In order to do the next part, the router software will require you to log back in with your NEW password. 3. Secure the wi-fi unit of this duo: a. Click Setup > Wireless Settings b. Change the SSID if you want (the name of the network you will see when you are looking for one to connect to) c. Change the password(s) of the wireless networks. d. I recommend leaving the other settings in here as they are, and click Apply button to save your changes. i. You will get a new screen showing your new settings. ii. Copy that into an email to yourself if you wish for future reference (screenshot of this is best practice). 4. Connect to your new wireless router a. Follow the instructions for connecting that are in your accompanying booklet i. Push WPS on wi-fi device you just plugged in, and WPS on your own device. ii. This will apply the new password you just created in the Wireless Settings page b. If you have to add the network manually: i. Choose to add a wireless network in Control Panel, or your handheld device’s connections settings ii. Pick the network SSID you just renamed (or left as it was) iii. Type in the password your just created in the Wireless Settings panel iv. Enjoy your excellent signal! MY ACTUAL EXPERIENCE AND WHY I WROTE THE ABOVE 1. INITIAL SETUP: The auto-setup is 100% easy and accurate. I connected quickly and easily. I was lucky enough to have wired my own 105-y-o house when I replaced plumbing. I ran circuits that serviced 1 or 2 outlets per room, with several rooms on a single circuit. (This used to be best practice, not sure now though.) Because of that, the outlet in the room where my ISP’s modem connects to the exterior cable (a bedroom downstairs) is on a circuit that runs to my (upstairs) office as one of the many rooms it passes through. (I added 13 new circuits, in case you wonder about this.) I plugged in the base unit, then I went to my office, plugged in the wi-fi piece, and I got the green light I wanted (perfect connection). I went over to my laptop, found the WPS Push button (software), pushed the WPS button on the wi-fi router (blue lights blinks in this mode), and I had an instant connection. 2. SECURITY SETUP mixed with ANDROID SETUP: The phone setup led to a security setup, and was more difficult due to my own lack of knowledge. a. I’ll state what is probably obvious to the network gurus, but not to a simple user like myself, and took a while to figure out: The WPS PUSH button searches for the WI-FI SETUP PASSWORD (internal to itself), and passes that to the device you are connecting. It is not some scrambled code that is unique to that moment’s push of the button. So whatever password the wi-fi router is set to (or you set it to)… that is what gets passed. Thus my recommendation to do the security piece first… the rest falls into place. b. This is where it got a bit more complicated for me. Once my laptop was connected, I tried to connect my Android phone. It would not connect at all, and I could not find the WPS Push on it. Darn. And I had 2 networks to choose from. No luck on either. I didn’t know what password to use. c. Since I had a wi-fi connection to the router, I went into the router setup from my wi-fi connected laptop (mywifiext.net). I changed the router password (from default of “admin” and “password” and tried my phone again. No luck. This turns out to be the actual MODEM’S password… that unit that is the “base” of the two that come in this box… downstairs next to my ISP’s modem. So of course it didn’t work on my phone. d. Then I discovered that I had another screen I could go to in my router setup: Setup > Wireless Settings. In there, I found both of the wireless networks newly available. One is “5G” and the other is not (5G has a faster speed). So I changed both passwords there. At this point I could connect my phone manually by typing in the password that I had just set. e. But then I lost connectivity on my laptop. Hmm…. Thinking it through, the WPS Push apparently picks up whatever that wi-fi router password is. Not some unique-to-the-moment code. OK. Opened my laptop’s network setup (click the little bars on the lower RH corner of the taskbar and choose “Open Network and Sharing Center”), navigated to my “manage wireless networks” and change the password in there for the earlier auto-connected wireless. I added the second, slower one as well. I then went back to my connection panel (the little bars in the lower RH corner of the taskbar), entered the password manually, and I was good to go. I tested my speed when I was done (over the Wi-Fi). It was 12mbps down, and 2.5mbps up. That's actually faster than my ISP provides on my plan, so I think I did OK with this purchase. ... show more

  • Won't work across a subpanel
I already have powerline adapters (TrendNet) and have had them for years. This is supposed to be faster but, for me, your network is only as fast as your Internet connection, since I do little interaction between the systems on my network. I had a specific reason for getting another pair of these: To see if I could send some Internet out to my shop. It's a separate building about 100 feet from my main router. The kicker is that I have a 100 amp sub-panel out there. It connects directly to a 100 amp double throw breaker in my main breaker box. I wasn't sure whether or not it would jump over the sub-panel to give me some cool wireless Internet out in the shop. Short answer: NO I set the pair up by connecting them on two different outlets in the same room in the house. This is much easier than running around from unit to unit pushing buttons, etc., so it's always the way I have done it. Once I get the pairing and get everything working, I simply move the wireless unit to its final destination and it should just work. The setup instructions were pretty straightforward until I got to the part where it said to access a web url. I got this message from Firefox: "Firefox can’t find the server at [web url]." I suppose that maybe that's because I wasn't actually connected, via wifi, to the actual unit, but rather my regular LAN connection. Of course, the instructions say "With your computer or WiFi device connected to your WiFi network, open a web browser." My WiFi network has a main router and 3 other wireless access points, so you'll have to be more specific than that if you want me to connect to the Netgear device. If that's actually required, why not say "... connected to your new wireless access point (Netgear) " or something like that. Anyway, I didn't mess with that anymore. I just went into my main router to see what IP address the new setup had been assigned and directly accessed it this way with my browser: 192.168.1.136 (or whatever IP address it has been assigned). Note that you might have to use "http://" in front of it, depending on your browser. I used the supplied login credentials and got right in. There are several options you have there: 1. Set a static IP for the unit 2. Set your own SSID and password for each wireless frequency (2.4 and 5.0) 3. Set a different access password (the default is "password"). Be sure to change at least this. 4. Some other minimal settings. Remember that this is an access point, not a router, so it doesn't have DHCP pools of addresses, DMZs, or anything like that. But it works fine as an access point. A couple of things I noticed at this point: 1. On the wireless unit, the "green" lights are so light that I couldn't really tell if they were green. They looked really faded. The lights on the main sending unit are very bright green. No question there whether or not you actually have a green light. Everything was set up so I connected several devices wirelessly and did some Internet speed tests. Naturally, since I have 20mb Internet, there were no dropoffs there. I didn't bother doing a LAN speed test to see what the throughput was within the LAN, since I'm not using it that way anyway ... strictly for Internet access. So as long as that worked, it was time to go out to the shop and try it out. I tried plugging into several outlets in the shop but always got a red light on the pairing indicator (it should be green if you are talking to the other unit in the pair). I brought it back into the house and it works on virtually every outlet. Conclusion: It won't work across a sub-panel. That said, nobody every promised that powerline would work across a sub-panel, so I am casting no stones at Netgear for this. It was just something I wanted to try, since I read lots of people posting to the Internet that it "should work." Well, it doesn't. Take my word for it. At least that was true with this unit and my subpanel. So now my choices for Internet to the shop are to bury a 100 Cat 6 cable or buy a ubiquiti wireless bridge and try to shoot it out there that way. Or maybe just use my cell phone hot spot when I need to use it out there. It was worth a shot. This unit works as advertised, but I deducted a star for ambiguous instructions and faded green lights. I am keeping for use elsewhere. ... show more
