can't get to my c3700 dashboard
i was messing with trying to get a camera connected to a linksys ac1900 router and it just would not connect. so i tried bridging the linksy ac1900 to the netgear c3700 and now i can't see the netgea...
If you're running 2 routers in router mode, you're in a double nat.
A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.

Fixes? There’s 3 options but only use 1.
1. Put the modem/gateway in modem only/pass through mode. This disables its routing functions.
2. Leave the modem/gateway in router mode but put the Netgears IP address into its DMZ. This forwards the data to the netgear. You can either leave the modem/gateway’s wireless enabled or disabled. Just make sure its using a different wifi channel to prevent interference
3. Put the Netgear into access point mode. This disables its routing functions. Wifi/ethernet still works but it does disable some features.

thanks i was just messing around. i did not need both running. so i put the ac1900 back in the box. i put the ac1900 into bridge mode and it messed with the c3700 router and even when i had the ac1900 turned off the c3700 showed as that ac1900 unit. i finally got to the c3700 dashboard but i had to use my phone to get there logging into the c3700 thru the phone. then after i reset the password and secret answers i was able to see that on the pc. if i go back to that ac1900 unit it will be with a modem only device so i will not have to bother with jointing 2 routers thanks much.
