Hey all, first time posting.
Just recently my router has been giving some issues. I have the netgear cg3100d, supplied from my isp. The issue lately is when I'm connected to the wifi, I have an ip assigned to me (192.168.0.6) but I am unable to ping 192.168.0.1. It returns from my local host of 192.168.0.6 destination host unreachable. But I still have my assigned ip. I have no internet over wifi. I have a wireless acess point connected to the netgear modem router via lan cable which provides Internet fine. But not through wifi directly from the netgear. This used to work fine up until just the other day. Rebooting the router does not rectify the issue.

I would start by checking to see if the router radio is working, either by using another device to attempt a connection or better to install the free version of the wifi analyzer inSSIDer and run it on your computer to see what wireless signals exist near you. If you look under the network tab you will see signals by channel, name and signal strength.

You could be getting an IP address assigned by the AP but be too far from it to get a connection, or you could have a problem with interference from another network or between your AP and router radios.

Can you ping 192.168.0.1 when near the AP?

Thanks realbeast. Ill check that stuff later. As for the IP from the ap, I turned the dhcp client off on thr ap to avoid potential ip conflict. All of our devices connecting to the netgear are having the same issue.

Right, you need the DHCP off on the AP, but you should be able to ping the main router through the AP. And the AP must have an IP address in the network range but not in the main router DHCP range to avoid possible conflicts.

The AP is connected LAN to LAN, right?

Correct! The ap has a lan cable running through the house to the modem/router. The ap has a static ip set outside the dhcp range so I know what ip it is should I need to look. So any ip assigned via the modem router and the ap.. are all from the modem routers dhcp service.
