Nighthawk X6 vs XR500
I currently have the Nighthawk X6 AC3200. I live in a rural location and my internet download speed is most often around 12 mbbs. This is the best I am getting w/ a 50 mbps service currently. This is...
Modem Combo Units:
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.
Thank you so much for both of your advice and help.
I disabled the wifi radios on the modem and have the X6 now run as a router-behind-router. I'm seeing some differences already on the speed test. I have attached screenshots of the wifi settings on both the AT&T router and the X6. What might you change (if anything) to make it more stable.
Did you use the DMZ on the modem for the XR router?
Will have to wait for mods to approve them to see your pictures..
Besides the DMZ between North and South Korea, I have no idea what that is. :)
