XR500 and X4S on the same network. Need help please
Hello All Right now I have an X4s doing the work of both the modem and router. I have also an XR500 on the shelf that I can use. What I want to do: My brother and his family live upstairs, me and ...
Sorry about that I wrote down the wrong model number it’s a Netgear C 7800 modem router combo.
Try putting the C7800 in modem only mode:

Then you can use the XR as the main router.
- I’m looking to make two separate wireless networks
With both networks having a full featured routerThen run the C7800 in gateway mode and use the modems DMZ for the XR500.
If you run both wifi, be sure to use manual channels far apart on each unit.
Then what is the X4S?
If you're wanting separate systems leave the primary router as main and leave the 2nd on in router mode and put its ip address into the 1st one's dmz. Or just leave it in a double nat.
The X4S is a C7800, modem version of the R7800.
