Using ATT BGW210 and Netgear RAX20 Simultaneously
Hey all, Apologies if this has been answered before, but I've spent the past 2 days trying to understand how to make this work and I've only succeeded in confusing myself even more. I've got ...
No.
Neither the BGW210 or the RAX are mesh routers.
You can set them with the same ssid but devices wouldn't roam between them like a mesh network.
You can connect the RAX to the BGW and continue to use both wireless's but make sure to put the netgear in AP mode or the netgears IP address into the BGW's dmz.
Ok, I put the Netgear into 'AP Mode." After rebooting I did lose access to the router through routerlogin.net and the Netgear app. Is this expected?
If I needed to make any changes to the SSID or password in the future would I have to completely reset the router?
You should be able to log into the bgw and look at its attached devices page. that page should have the ip address from the netgear.
Hmm, I tried that but I am getting the error "ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"
The IP address assigned to the RAX is 192.168.1.228
