- Netgear MP101 & BT Home Hub
- Posted by Jack Fate on January 26th, 2007
Does anyone have experience of the Netgear MP101 Wireless Digital Music
Player working wirelessly with BT Home Hub.
I purchased the MP101 2/3 years ago now and perversely , for several reasons
have not tried it out until recently.
Ironically I attempted to do this just after I had switched from using
Netgear DG834GT wireless router to BT Home Hub.
I cannot get the MP101 to work wirelessly with the BT home hub.
It will work perfectly with Home hub using the Ethernet connection.
When trying to set up wirelessly
it will "associate" with BT Home Hub ( after entering passphrase) but then
can not get an IP address from the home hub. When it then allocates an IP
address it cannot "find a server " The server is the software on the PC that
"serves" the music files.
The MP101 has the latest firmware upgrade . I upgraded using the Ethernet
connection
By way of test I then reverted to the Netgear RouterDG 834GT ( which I had
also not used the MP101 with previously. It works perfectly both wireless
and Ethernet.
So I am pretty sure I am setting up the MP101 correctly. It seems to be a
difference between the Netgear router and the BT Homehub.
Any ideas
Thanks
Richard

Mine works fine.
Try a factory reset of the MP101 and start again.
