Netgear WNR834B and Nintendo DS Blues

[JonathanRP]

I am trying to set up my Netgear WNR834B with my Nintendo DS but I keep getting a error message like: 52001 (Cannot get I.P. Address, check DHCP settings) when I try to connect. I know that the problem is that I am using 802.11g, but how do I change it so that it is not using 802.11g? My wireless configuration settings are:


Account Name WNR854T
Firmware Version 1.4.23NA
   
Internet Port 
MAC Address 00:18:4D:23:A8:87

DHCP DHCP Client 
Domain Name Server
    
LAN Port
MAC Address 00:18:4D:23:A8:86

DHCP ON

   
Wireless Port 

Region United States 
Channel Auto 
Mode Up to 145 Mbps
Wireless AP ON
Broadcast Name Enabled

There should be a mode setting somewhere that allow you to configure the router to use both b and g mode.

Jonathan, please delete the following informations from your post:

Internet Port - IP Address

Wireless Port: SSID Mary (this is your private network, don't tell us how you named it). But only if nothing in your network asks you to broadcast SSID. If nothing asks you to do this, than disable "Broadcast Name".

router manual: ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/WNR834B_RM_18May06.pdf

See at page 3-6 the "mode" option. You may change from there to 54 Mbps (802.11 g) or 11 Mbps (802.11 b) standards.

Should I use this setting (11 b/g/n Mixed mode)? Will this correct the problem? Because, when I set it to this, my computer can't connect to it anymore.  This is the setting that I am using (11n Max Speed)

[Deerpark]

Yes I would recommend mixed mode, this would give you the highest level of compatibility.
What error message is your computer giving you if you turn on mixed mode?

[JonathanRP]

I am getting a message that my router is still using 802.11 g.... after I set my router to mixed.

[JonathanRP]

But I usedto get a limited or no connectivity message.

[Deerpark]

So what?
Is your computer able to connect to the access point?
Is the DS?

[JonathanRP]

Sadly, the "Connect To A Netwotk" screen still lists my connection as '802.11g'. The connection is not changing for some reason, so the DS is not working yet. If it matters, I am still getting a 52001 Error Message: Cannot obtain I.P. address, check DHCP settings, but there are no definite DHCP settings in my connection... I also am getting a 52002 error message. If I enter all of the I.P. stuff, I get a conncted to the access point but cannot connect to Nintendo WFC or I get a Cannot connect to access point message.

Am I being ignored now...?
