If youlook carefully, your addres is 192.168.1.2 on the first test. On the second test you are 192.168.0.2. In the first case, your ping 192.168.0.1will not work because you are in the wrong sunet group. I suspect that your new box, you want to ping 192.168.1.1 where the admin web interface is at versus 192.168.0.1. I notice a lot of these router now are moving to the 192.168.1.x lcoation.

Wife got new box and we decided to go wireless.
Purchased Netgear WGT624 wireless router to replace the Netgear RP114 which has served me faithfully for several years.
But I cannot talk to the WGT624 (192.168.0.1).

What am I missing or doing incorrectly, or is the WGT624 no good?
