Re: Strange problem

[Someone Somebody <temp4746 () gmail com>]

The problem is that I do have quite a few devices and computer that use this
connection and in addition a VoIP device that I can't seem to manage to get
into it's interface and thus won't work without DHCP.
I couldn't find any firmware, especially since it's a special model ordered
and given by my isp (their logo on the router's case and in the firmware is
quite obvious). (Netgear DGN2200*v2)*
I think I'm going to try and replace the router soon if I can't fix this and
if I encounter problems at least the other model I saw at my friend has a
beta firmware with fixes. (Something about them locking WMM off due to some
incompability they encountered without considring the fact that in addition
to obviously losing wmm, on some cards this locks you out from 802.11n mode.
