Nighthawk M1100 as modem with Netgear AC1750 router
I've been using a Nighthawk M1100 (AT&T) with a Netgear AC1750 router for a few months and it's worked pretty well. My problem is when browsing web pages that I often get an error saying a page can'...
AC1750 is a speed. what router do you have?
What firmware is on it?
Is the AC1750 in access point mode?
or the M1100 in passthrough mode?
The firmware version is V1.0.4.122_10.0.95 (I just updated it before starting the reply...it had been V1.0.4.120_10.0.91). The M1100 is in passthrough mode but I don't know where to look about the R6400 being in access point mode or not. (R6400v2 - I only quickly looked last night and thought the modem model was an AC1750...) When I started (a couple months ago) both the R6400 and the M1100 had the same IP address - I changed the R6400 so that I'm able to access the settings for both. I'm not an expert at this stuff but I'm probaby a semi-advanced amateur. Ha Ha Thanks for your help!
You don't want the M1100 in passthrough AND the R6400 in access point. One or the other.
But you could try leaving the M1100 in router modem and put the R6400 in access point mode.
You could see if that setup worked better for you
Unless there is some other way to turn off the wifi on the M1100 I'll leave it in passthrough (which turns off the wifi) and the R6400 as the router. The firmware update might have been the problem because I haven't had an error where a web page can't be found since doing the update yesterday. Thanks for your help!
If its working, you can mark it solved so others aren't trying to fix an already fixed device :)
