Schumaka,
The arcadyan has what is called ACL " Access Control List" under WIFI settings and has " Blacklist or Whitelist" then asks for a MAC address?..No idea what the Netgear Mac is?... Also has Bridge mode under "WAN Services" then it saks me if I,m sure I want to engage bridge?...It pops up with an IP and if I cancel (Unsure) it locks me out and theres a need to login again...As you stated ACL may be easier...

Schumaka,
Also the Netgear Mesh changed the Arcdayan userid (SSID) and password and dropped all of my devices I.e. Google Home, Nest, Sound Bar, Smart TV etc; and all these devices are looking for the old settings?...Can I change the modem back to the old settings?...
Just a question if I may would I be better off dumping this modem and getting a netgear product thats going to work much easier than this??...Thank you...
