Nighthwak XR450

I just installed the xr450 to my existing router and made it AP mode.  It is still showing as a separate router and I can't do any updates to the router.  The set up in settings in blacked out.  It is frustrating

  • AP basically disables all the features and routing functions, is that what you wanted to do? That's why the settings are greyed out. You need to put it back into router mode if you want to use the features and update it.

        If you want to do that then access the other router and enable bridge mode to the XR.
