  • So you're trying to use the tplink w9970 as the modem for the XR300?

    Are you able to get an internet connection? When you access the interface, are you connected directly to the XR300 from your computer?

      That’s it mate I’m trying to use the tp link as a bridge for the gaming router. So far I have got the PS4 with a nat type1 tthrough netgear which is great, and managed the wireless to work, so technically i’ve Solved the issue, but when I try to access the the router settings I have no chance, and the whole point in buying this router is to tweak the settings so I can get the most optimum performance online gaming, I have tried everything, keep getting the same message even going through the app. It’s something to do with me getting the message that my IP address is going to change, think it’s conflicting something, but doesn’t make sence I’m getting the router to work through ps4 and iPad, I’m using iPad to set up router could that be the issue thx.
