Cannot bridge Linksys Router with my NetGear C700 Modem/Router.
I am trying to extend our wireless and wired network to other parts of our home to support new wired devices and improve our wireless coverage. I have been reviewing numerous web and community sites ...

Good News!
I now have my Linksys setup as a bridged device behind the NetGear C7000 to extend my wired and WiFi connectios.
I was trying to make too many changes at the same time on my network.
- While testing the bridged Linksys device, I also add an ooma telephone device to my wired network.
- With two ports on back of the ooma device and 4 ports (already used) on back of my NetGear router, I move one of the Netgear connection to the back of the ooma device and connected the ooma device to the freed up port on the router.
- The devices worked coming out of the ooma device, but what I did not realize was that the ooma device has its own DNS Server (172.27.35.x), which changed my device IP address behind it from the 192.168.0.x addresses that I expected.
- With the IP Address changes, I could not find these devices on my network in the 192.168 range.
Thanks for your input on this issue!
