Using this NetGear router as secondary router upstairs.  Main modem/router, is connected to NetGear router via cat 6 ethernet.

 

I did not turn off DHCP on Netgear, nor did I change the IP address!  I'm not sure if this needs to be done?

 

192.168.1.1 cannot connect it 'times out'

 

I can connect devices to NetGear SSID's, & ethernet connected all work.  If changes to secondary NetGear router log in page are required, how can I access, NetGears log ion page.  I have valid account & user/pass

 

Thanks
Rick

  • You should set your second router in Access Point mode to avoid double NAT issues. You can then connect to its Web-based interface using the IP address your main router assigns to your second one in AP mode
