Using C7000 as modem for Nighthawk AX6 (RAX50) - AX5400
Hi! I bought the Nighthawk AX6 (RAX50) - AX5400 Wifi Router and only now realised that I cannot use it with the coax cable. Currently, I am running the Nighthawk C7000 and hope now to use the C7000 a...
I figured it out. Here the steps:
1. Run C7000 as usual, make sure that DHCP is enabled
2. Connect the RAX-50 with a cable using the LAN1 port on C7000 and internet in port on RAX-50
3. Use a cabled connection with thw RAX-50, e.g. on Lan 1 and configure it
From this moment, the RAX-50 worked as a wireless router. Adjust setting as needed and disable DHCP
4. Disable the wireless networks on the C7000
Done.
Also, can you clarify "Use a cabled connection with thw RAX-50, e.g. on Lan 1 and configure it"?
Are you saying to connect via eithernet on the RAX and configure it via the ip address?
