C6300 wireless stopped working after changing Router Mode = No

Question

I have a AC1750 WiFi Cable Modem Router(Model C6300), and followed the Quick Start guide to setup the unit. The unit was activated successfully with TWC, after registering on the NetGear website I found the User Manual. The first thing the manual says to do is to 'From the Basic Home page, Select&nbsp;ADVANCED &gt; Administration &gt; Router Mode and select the&nbsp;No radio button'. When the Apply button is pressed the unit reboots but the WiFi does not turn back on and I have no way to access the setup page of the unit. How do I overcome this? To access the unit I had to use the 'Reset' button on the rear. The unit is back up and running but with the Router Mode = Yes.

Hello jb58

&nbsp;

You may have to use 192.168.100.1 when you set that to no if not try 192.168.0.1.

Thank you for the response Darren. I don't think the IP address is the problem though, when I clicked 'Apply' the router reset but neither of the Wifi led's were illuminated and there was no Wifi available for me to log on to the router.

Setting Router Mode = No puts it into bridge mode. &nbsp;I would expect Wi-Fi to stop working.

Then how do I get the Wifi to turn back on? I just tried this again and there was no way to turn the Wifi channels on. I guess I'm confused, the user manual says to make this change(as one of the very first steps) and the router appears to stop working.

You should only make this change if you have a separate router. &nbsp;Do you?
