Blade 7000 DHCP.... HELP!

[ulrich100]

Ok I bought a Netgear bridge (WN200RPT). DHCP is enabled.

On the Blade DHCP is also enabled under ip settings.

I got the bridge home and have set it up to my router. It is working correctly. I can connect to it both wireless and with a cat5 cable. (on my desktop if I remove my wireless usb and insert the network cable I get an interent connection.

If I then place the same cable into the Blade and restart both the bridge and the blade. I get no connection.

**The strange thing is I had this working for about 10 min, I was able to view youtube videos and pull up maps, even connected to the CS server. I left the box for about an hour (to root the coax cable)when I cam back no connection and nothing I seem to do is getting me a connection.**

I have the lastest version of software on both the blade and the bridge.

Anyone shead any light please.

go to ip settings and press red on your remote wait a min then check if your viewing is back.

This happend to me aswell its a netgear problem if this doesn't work then follow the instructions below my old post:

All those people with a NETGEAR ROUTER and having trouble getting the new Blade firmware to work follow the steps below:


Firstly I have tried downloading the firmware straight to my box, but all the channels appear with scrambled message even though it***8217;s picked up my IP etc and the NEWCAMD is showing connected but it***8217;s not highlighted in green.


Someone mentioned I should do a factory reset which I did. Please note if you are going to do this make a note of your CLINE or NEWCAMD as once you do a factory reset all your info on the box is lost.


So I did a factory reset by switching off the box at the back then I held down the menu button on the front of the box, then I switched the box back on whilst still holding down the menu button. Then you will see something appear, press option 4 on your remote this is factory reset and it shouldn***8217;t even take a second to restore.


Ok once that***8217;s done you***8217;ll need to put in your USB with the new firmware at the back of the box and go to utilities and download the firmware as you would have before.


Once that***8217;s done you***8217;ll see a message NO CHANNELS when you try watch something, so you need to access the 9991 menu and input all your CLINE or NEWCAMD info in and connect like you have done previously.


You then need to go to the menu and go to IP settings and press red on your remote, it may take a few seconds for it to pick up your IP. Once it has you can leave IP settings and go to Blade online and download the channels.


Once that***8217;s done and make sure your IP is picked up you should be able to view all the channels.



Well this is how it worked for me anyway, hope this helps.
I tried all the new features and they work.


Downside to this firmware every time I switch the box off I have to go to the IP settings menu and press red on remote as it doesn***8217;t pick up my router IP automatically as it did with the old firmware, I think this is just a NETGEAR problem but not sure, so I***8217;ve gone back to using the old firmware until this problems fixed.


I hope this is helpful!!

ignore the numbers its sme text code from word where it was typed

That was another question.. I have the lastest non beta firmware. But when I go to IP settings and press the red button for 'scan' nothing seems to happen...

Should I revert back to an older firmware.. I dont have much interest in the youtube ect features anyway.

Am i missing something?

Thanks for the help

i used the non beta 1 dnt work with me too well i couldn't get the automatic epg working n i couldnt get in the channel list set up so i went back to the beta version.

the non beta is meant to fix few bugs the beta 1 had but for me the beta 1 works better

Just a quick thanks.

It was the factory reset that seems to have sorted it.

Touched nothing and just did the reset.

Now Im basking in sly hd glory!

I did read something about it, but for the life of me cant remeber where... now I need the info.
