R7000 in bridge mode (AP) with Disney Circle
Hello,
I have a R7000 router, in bridge mode wich is connected to my ISP supplied modem, a Huawei brand.
I need to have the Huawei connected becuase it has a VOIP connection and the R7000 doesnt.
I want to use the new Disney Circle, however when I go to connect to the R7000 via the iOS APP it says that I cant connect to the R7000 when it is in AP or Bridge Mode.
My question is. How can I use Disney Circle (full paid access) with my current setup. Are then any settings or hardware changes I can do?
I know I can remove the Huawei, but I will lose my VOIP.

AP mode disables a lot of your router's features:

Likewise bridge mode:

The usual way to make a router play nice with a modem is to set the modem in modem only or bridge mode.

Thanks for replying. Will this allow me to use Disney Circle and still have VOIP?

That probably depends on your modem and the VoIP service.
If your ISP has a user forum, the folks there may be able to provide better answers.
