get the IP address that you setup in the port forwarding.

try http://ip.address.here:2000 in your browser. What do you get.

Now I get "could not connect" but my router page shows the reefangelwifi as inactive still (even though its blinking green and worked fine before)

Since its showing inactive I went and tried to reinstall wifi from the wifi ultility and now I'm back to the same original problem I was having where it gives me an ip of 0.0.0.0:2000. I just keep going backwards in this deal....

Early I fixed this problem by changing my wifi to wpa2-psk and then it setup fine. Now it's still setup on wpa2-psk and it just won't work....

Can you ping the original ip address?
Use teraterm or putty to enter command mode and see what the "get i" dump tells you.
Look in the manual for instructions on how to enter command mode.

The original ip address comes back as Destination host unreachable.

Will check witb teraterm...

It sounds like your laptop is sharing your internet connection and your RA is connecting through that... that's what it sounds like..

Wait I might have it working (no idea how or why). When you have no idea what your doing you try anything and everything till something happens lol

I do remember I changed the ra wifi to a set ip address instead of the pool it was in (I guess that means it was being given a random ip address each time -?) on my router then assigned the same ip address in the graphical wifi setup program.
