Lost Printer in Netgear USB CC after installing new C3000A Modem
Replaced C3000A Modem with new C3000A Modem. Netgear USB CC nolonger presents Router or Printer. Readyshare worked fine before replacement. Rebooted. Uninstalled/Reinstalled. Any idea...

Explored Ethernet connection as you suggested. I now have two of three computers printing wirelessly!
I think that I have the network setup as you showed, but I don't see Router mode on C3000A. I have the C3000A set as it came. The Netgear is in AP mode.
I reconnected the printer via ethernet (no USB) and it showed on the corresponding table (C300A and Netgear) or map (Netgear Genie) as a Dell 1320C priinter. Pinged printer from one of the computers. Started trouble shooting IP address, etc and got the printer to print a test page from 2 of 3 computers. New problem on the third.
We're good to go.
Thank you. I appreciate that you kept coming back.

Attempted to change C3000A to TRANSPARENT BRIDGE. This took the whole system down.
R7000 AC1900 is in AP MODE
Any other thoughts?
Thanks

If the C3000a is in bridge mode, you'd need to reboot your router to pull the proper ip address.
As well as you can't do both. its either the c3000a in passthrough or the netgear in AP.
You can leave the C3000a running as the router and just put the netgear in AP mode.

I didn't do this step (reboot router) and ended up with no internet.

From what I understand, I have this situation.
I need to work with internet this morning. I'll try the first: Bridge=>Router Reboot this afternoon.
Thanks again

I forgot to ask this question:
If I place the MODEM in Bridge Mode, what is the setting for the router so that the printer functions correctly?
ROUTER
AP Mode
Bridge Mode
