- What wireless modes are you using?

- Try setting a manual Channel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_channels) to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions. Try channel 48 or 149 on 5Ghz.

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

Hardware version is your router? HW:A1
Firmware version FW:1.08
Region : Eu
Router is mounted on the wall away from other electrical devices.
Wireless connected , tried with smart setup and normal/manuel , same problem.
Another problem i have is that, when my son is playing Counter Strike the ping is 40 about 2 days , after 2 days the ping jumps sky high to about 250-260.
If i restart the pc the problem is the same , i need to restart the router to make if go back to normal.
Any suggestion to that problem.
Sp the bottom line is there is two problems, The ping problem , and the problem with the router suddenly reboots.

I just installed the 1.09 beta yesterday , and so far it is working fine.
I will post in a few days hows going.
It seem slike the 1.09 is much better to put the clients on the different network.

Let us know how it goes. Please fill in details so we can get a good idea of the situation.
Hope it works better. ;)

Glad it working. Be aware that your ISP modem is a gateway and had a build in router and wifi. If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>Double NAT (http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm) and How NAT Works (http://computer.howstuffworks.com/nat.htm). Call the ISP and ask to see if the ISP modem can be bridged. To tell if the modem is bridged or not, look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ.
Let us know if you encounter anything else.
Enjoy. ;)

Netgear Ip Adress is 192.168.100.1 NAT is turned Off so it should be ok
D-Link 890 Up adress is 192.168.0.1 and set to router mode.
-
Ok.
If the 890L isn't getting a public IP address, then there is possibly a NAT condition here however if your not experiencing any issues. You'll be ok. Most problems with NAT are seen with gaming consoles. ::)
Enjoy. ;)
-
The Dlink 890 is getting the IP Adress from my ISP , no IP adress in the Netgear router/modem
