Hi Folks,

It has been awhile since I did a TSU9600 and RFX9600, in network mode. I have tried for many hours to get the two of them to connect, together. I had one experience when everything worked as planned. Then I started changing WAP settings to see when it would fall off the network, etc., and I have never been able to get them to connect again.

It may be my WAP. It is a Netgear Pre N. Going into the WAP (attached devices) I consisitently get both the TSU9600 and the RFX9600 to connect with the WAP, but neither have IP addresses.

I have tried everything I can think off. It seems like the TSU9600 keeps the IP address forever. I have made changes to the WAP, put it on DHCP, put it on fixed IP and the TSU9600 had not changed the IP address.

When I look at the logs, all I ever tend to see is the RFX9600 (Device 0) does not have an IP address.

I think the RFX9600 might be bad and have just received a new one. Have not had a chance to hook it up.

Any other thoughts? I could use a good idea or two. I have been working on this pair for at least 6 hours with little success.

Thx Dave

not familiar with the RFX9600 but maybe a hard reset, i.e. back to factory defaults, for both could resolve?

Unrelated to Pronto, I came across a Netgear pre-n that was very frustrating to deal with. It was similar to a hand full of marbles plus one. (push in a marble and another pops out) Every time you fixed one problem, another would pop up. I ran around chasing my tail until I replaced the router.

I have the TSU9600 and RFX9600 running on both a Netgear WGT624 and a newer Netgear WNR 854T without any issues using fixed IP addresses. You need to go to router config and get a MAC address for both devices starting on DHCP, then reserve an IP for each on the router using that MAC address. Then go to RFX9600 setup and save the fixed IP address (I think I had to save it a couple of times to get it to stick). Then change the TSU to a fixed address. Reboot everything and check attached devices on the router--you should then be able to see both TSU and RFX on their fixed addresses.

I have a netgear pre-n (blue half sphere, white router, pre-n - looks like a WPN824) that works with a RFX9600 and TSU9600. It's set with fixed IPs for the TSU and RFX.

HI Folks,

Thanks for the replies. Turns out the RFX9600 was bad. A replacement RFX9600 worked like a champ on my Netgear PreN Gigabit unit.

Thx Dave

Talking of the TSU9600 does anyone know how to perform a hard rest? restore to factory settings?

Have your RFX9600 connected with your pc with a cross over cable (supplied).
-RFX configuration switch set to 2
-set your pc's LAN IP address to static 192.168.8.8 (8 or any other different than 80)
- open your internet browser and type:
http://192.168.8.80/

You should find there the "Restore Factory Settings" button.

Read the manual supplied. It is all in there( you can also connect through a router)
