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.

In AP mode, features are disabled on netgear routers.
Are you running the C3000A in router mode?
And then the Netgear in Access point mode?
Try it setup like this:
C3000A (router mode)-------->Netgear (access point mode)
If so, you can still connect the printer to either the C3000a or the netgear but it might show up through genie as connected to the C3000A.
As well as ip address reservation won't work because the C3000A controls the ip reservations when its running in router mode?
