How can I get my 5g wireless network on my WNDR3700 to connect to Roku XDS
Optional Information: Computer OS: Windows Vista Browser: IE Already Tried: Have tried all of the secure settings in the manual setup for 5G. % g will not connect to my laptop or my ROKU. 2.4 g works fine but omly on Wan security setting.
I can fix the router to get connected to the laptop wifi but for roku i might try to get it conected if that is fine with you.
is the netgear connected to the isp modem and is turned on
Thats fine. I'm not at home where my equipment is but anything you can suggest would be helpful. I'm very frustrated. roku is supposed to be dual band.
i have no much experience for roku you can try it your self however if the wifi router starts working then you can configure it your self.
i will give some input from my side as well.
The router works great on 2.4 g If we can get it working on laptop i consider problem solved.
how do you turn it on to 5G then
The laptop recognizes the 2.4 network and connects. When I try to commect to the 5G it will not connect. Error message says that security settings are not recognized.
reset the router to factory default first and then upgrade the firmware then try it will definately work.
i will give you steps
To reset your router to factory defaults, use a pen or paperclip to press and hold the Reset button for approximately 15 seconds at the back of the router you will see a tiny button indicated as reset button, press it down until the light blinks. The router power should be turned on. Release the button and wait for the router to reboot.
