Connecting MK63 t0 R6700AX
Have an R6700AX router that I purchased a few months ago, and just picked up a MK63-100NAR 3-Pack. Was that a mistake? Can I use them with my existing router? Based on what I've read, it seems like t...
Well you could use the laptop and wirelessly connect to the default SSID name on the MR and set up that way with the MR. If you wirelessly connect to the MR useing the default SSID name, navigate to 192.168.1.1 on the MRs web page to use the setup wizard there.
There are USB to ethernet adapters that are inexpensive to purchase.
Offline means it doesnt' have to be connected to anything when you set it up. Once you have it setup off line, you can configure AP mode then after you apply that change, then connect the MR to the 6700 series router.
You could connect it to the 6700 series router, the MR will use a different IP address, 10.0.0.1 I beleive since default is 192.168.1.1 for the 6700 and MR, the MR should avoid this and change to the 10 IP address string as two routers on the same line can't use the same IP address pool string. Would use the 6700's DMZ for the MR to help avoid any double NAT issues. This works as well. Use this configuration many times.
Can.
Can use the DMZ on the R6700 router for the MR router in router mode or easiest configuration would be to configure the MR for AP mode and connect it to the R6700 and then disable the 6700's wifi radios:

So FURRYe38, would I need to connect the MK63's router to my modem (and thus disconnect the R6700AX) in order to set it up that way? That will be disruptive to the household if that's the case.
No, you can set it up off line from the modem or router using a wired PC and web browser?
No wired PCs in the household - laptop doesn't even have an ethernet port.
Though I'm not understanding what you mean by offline FURRYe38.
Could you elaborate?
