I'm currently living in a student house filled with 11 of us filthy scroungers. I setup a wireless network with the above router and all was well until a few discovered the wonderful bandwidth hogging world of p2p networking.
The result of this is a inconsistent internet connection, I've tried all sorts of solutions but none seem to stick long enough, so basically I've decided the best solution would be to watch them like a hawk.
The best way for me to do this would be to use some shareware SNMP software (in this case PRTG traffic grapher) and monitor the bandwidth of each connection to see who the dirty bandwidth-eater is.
This flawless plan has hit a rather large brick wall - i am having huge amounts of trouble enabling SNMP on my router. The method that seems to work on all netgear routers (except mine) is:
1) Access your router on http://192.168.0.1/snmp.htm
2) Enable SNMP and make your community name 'public'. Click Apply.
3) Type in the address bar: http://192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?todo=debug (it will say "Debug enabled").
4) Click Start, Run, type in 'cmd' to get a command prompt.
5) Type 'telnet 192.168.0.1' (You will see a BusyBox shell prompt).
6) type 'iptables -D INPUT 1' at the # prompt (this disables SNMP blocking).
I got a friend to try this method on his netgear router (i'm unsure of the model number) and he got the SNMP software working within 10 mins. I've been trying for 2 hours now. The reason why the above method doesn't work for me is because http://192.168.0.1/snmp.htm brings up a 404 error message - it seems that address doesn't exist on my router.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as my constantly fluctuating ping in TF2 is seriously cramping my style.
