Is there a Guide for setting up MiamiDX with Netgear MA401?
Hi There,
Been doing lots of searching today as my MA401 is here There is lots of info in different posts but I cant seem to find a guide, is there a step by step guide out there? Or should I just buy Easynet from Amigakit? Steve. |

MiamiDx works fine with the MA401 and has a setup wizard, run miamiinit first and it's pretty self explaining.
If not i'll write a step by step guide for you. Don't forget to grab the Prism2 drivers off aminet to run the MA401. |

Hi Philophus
I've got and installed the Prism2 driver and have just grabbed the card reset patch as my first attempt WB hung. I'd appreciate a guide if thats ok? It would be great to sticky for future reference I'll have a proper go after the North London Derby Thanks or your help. Steve. |

Great North London derby... OK I'm kidding, I'm an Arsenal fan and it looks like any remote chance we had of winning the league has just gone up in smoke...
Anyway it would be great to get a step by step guide if Philophus gets a spare moment to scribble one down for us... although I have a wireless card I await the arrival of my A608 to really set this up on my A600. |

Thanks - I think quite a number of people will find it very useful.

Hold fire on that! You we're right, dead easy once you figure out how to enter the Wep Key so it works!
Look I'm online! OMG! However its defo worth writing up and sticky'in - Thanks again Philophus Quote:
Its much quicker and easier then I expected, but maybe I was lucky... Once I got the WAP Key right MiamiDX found all the IP/Subnet Mask/etc settings automatically then it was just a case of importing them and hitting 'online' Then it just worked! Steve.

At least it was a screen shot from Aweb - took my mind off the score for a minute looking at how the Amiga browser handled the page...

Yes, that set up should make browsing a better experience - I like Aweb but I think I finally opted to use Ibrowse when I had my Tower set up (Voodoo and 060) - it was pretty fast but of course it struggled with a number of modern websites.

Nice one
Sometimes DHCP doesn't play nicely and you have to put all the IP addresses and subnet settings in manualy but it always seems to work with the MA401's. Ibrowse is definately a much nicer browsing experience but it can't be registered and keys cannot be had...but then Google's your friend there. |

I'll write out the steps I took to get it to work with my settings, I'll do that later tonight and if there's anything to add let me know? Unless you're planning on writing up a complete guide? Thanks again, you pointed me in the right direction without that I'd still be looking at the screen blankly Steve. |

If you want to write it up, be my guest as i have a very busy day ahead.
You're also very informative in what you do so i'm sure it'll be a great guide for others |

Seems a good idea Cosmicfrog, i may do one for Genesis and AmiTCP as well and it could all be in one thread.

Do you want me to see if the seller I bought from has anymore? It was brand new, sealed. I won the Auction at £3.20
Else just keep a close eye on ebay as I have been for the last few weeks till a cheap one comes along, there are BIN's at £15 but I hate paying over the odds for stuff (well except for my Apollo 630 but thats the only exception) Steve. |
