Thanks for the reference to the manual. Unfortunately like all large manuals it assumes understanding of someone with a little network experience other than just plug-and-play. I will have to research all the setting terms references so I can interpret how to do something that seems to be simple like setting the mesh router to be an access point.
My hope had been that I might find someone interested in offering a helping hand to walk through some of the processes of setting up the mesh and then incorporating it into my existing internet connection. Even a few references to helpful videos or publications might have been nice. Sorry to whine, but I often encounter this when more elite groups feel it a bother that rank amateurs seek their help. Even if that weren't the case, it sure feels like it.
I do appreciate the responses received, but I think using this kind of community is a little over my head.
You can use the steps I outlined.
either put the netgears IP address into tyour modem's gateway DMZ (ask your isp for help with this as its their device)
Or you can put the netgear into access point mode. The manual goes over doing so.
