I did a wireless set up for my laptop but I cannot connect other devices via wifi: Iphone, wireless desktop, Itouch or Kindle. What am I doing wrong?

You are not doing anything wrong. The problem is with the defective firmware of the router. There are two workarounds: 1- Return the router and ask for a refund. 2- Replace the firmware with the opensource alternative from openwrt.org. By the way don't expect the Netgear support to solve this problem for you. They are too incompetent and it's going to be a waste of your time.

I did a wired ethernet setup first. Then I did the wireless. You need the mac addresses of the wireless devices to set them up. This is done so that outsiders can't get into your wireless setup and "steal" service via your router. I had to enter the mac addresses, optional description and other info manually. Choose to recognize these devices only. You will be able to test that there are connections for each one as you do them (if I remember correctly). You get to the manual setup via the web to your router IP address. Also, you can download the manual (if you don't have one) from Netgear as well as additional information that will provide helpful details. It is easy to do really. Just read up on it first. You can't hurt anything if you try and fail as long as you don't change your original setup to connect to your laptop. So, experimenting with, say, one device at a time will work okay.

As the others suggested, first make sure the cables are good. Are you using the wifi dongle or are you connected via an Ethernet cable? I had problems using the dongle due to signal strength. I then connected directly to the modem, acquired an ip address via DHCP and it started working.

Sorry, I don't own any iOS devices, but ethernet and wifi are outside of the OS creaters (IE Apple, Microsoft and Linux distros) and its definition is controlled by a division of IEEE. That said, routers should work with any wired or wireless device you connect to it.

It me again, I was able to set up the speaker with my daughter's iPhone5, easily done. Then I attempted to connect my laptop. It was discovered and connected but still would not play. Weird???? Hope you get some other responses

I cannot establish a connection either. Some devices have very weak wifi receivers, i think this is one. I had to buy a booster for my laptop, I think I need one for this tv as well. Bummer

First id see if you can download the wi-drive app. And open it up before going and investing in it. If it opens up and it is trying to search for the wi-drive the app should be working just fine. Also u need to download the files via the USB cord that comes with it from you're computer to the drive. Then you can see pictures or documents on your kindle. And from what I've noticed since I own it there's a separate name for it under the wifi setting so you have to switch from the wifi for you internet to the one for the drive in order to see what's on the drive. The plus is that It can be password protected so not just anyway can see what's on it.

If your house Wi-Fi works with your other devices but not the tablet, I would try removing the in house Wi-Fi setup/connection from tablet - Reboot tablet and try reconnecting the Wi-Fi . Not all that techy but it wouldnt hurt to try.

I tried connecting to my laptop via Bluetooth, but it didn't work. I suppose that it should work if connected by cable, but I haven't tried it.

I used cable connection, mostly. WiFi is very poor and unstable. I dont remember if I had to do something special to connect, and I dont use that device any more.

most likely, your desktop doesn't have wi-fi. this would work if you have a USB port. If not, you can get a wi-fi card also.

I tried and was unsuccessful. After about an hour, I gave up...used my daughters Apple I-Phone and set it up in less than 3 minutes. I guess Apple and Windows truly don't mix. Having said that, once I got it set up and secured, any device can easily connect with no problems, including windows devices. All in all, it's a GREAT router!

We have a wifi connection but as of this writing we have not been able to get it to connect to anything other than inno tab. Think I should of spent the extra couple of $100 and bought an Ipad.

You need to have a wifi router of some kind if you want to connect to anything. However, there is a USB port. You might try hooking up a USB hub or something, and run a conventional wired network instead. I have not tried that. I generally hang this off a television (literally) and hook up a mouse to the USB port. Then I can watch things like Youtube and Netflix with it.

I had no problem connecting - what are you trying to do and what have you tried? Are you using a wireless access point?

Settings/Bluetooth/On - Should be second item down in wireless network. Make sure devices can "see" each other, follow instructions to pair them. Mine worked first time. Maybe I was lucky. My cellphone/PC is a hassle.

This device acts as a WiFi router ,so, you can connect any device that uses WiFi (PC, iPod, macbook...Apple TV). THe only thing is you may not have reliable 4G network!.. remember only 500 MB is free

I don't know if you are using an iPhone, but if you are that is your problem. For some reason IOS will not connect via bluetooth, you have to use a wifi connection.
