I have a Netgear R7000 that is used for wifi access mostly for my wife and I's iPhone's, our two apple computers for work, a PS3 and PS4, and my PC. We live at a boarding school with internet provided through Metrocast. All we have to do is plug a LAN cable from the wall jack into the back of the R7000 and we have access.
We were having problems getting access to Netflix and other things so I talked with our IT office and he changed the settings on our R7000 and allowed it to have full access on the school's network. For the most part everything is ok however I have problems with netflix, playing Steam, and some other websites through our router, yet if I run a LAN cable directly from a student's dorm room connection to any computer/console I have no problems at all. And we are dealing with high school students.
I was looking at settings and noticed that he had our R7000 set on Access Point mode with a fixed IP address. I was wondering if it is possible that having it is AP mode might be limiting us and I should switch it to Router mode.
Thank you
