Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the mr1100 in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions.
2. Leave the mr1100 in router mode but put the mr60's IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the mr60. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the mr60 into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.
