Is the C3700 modem in modem only mode or is it in router mode?
i have no clue what do i look for. at this time i took the c6300 back offline as i need to see the cameras. i figure if i get this figured out tomorrow i will connect up the r6300 once again and giv it a try. on the r6300 i did see a spot for bridging and in the c3700 i did see a spot about the router funtion but the last time i turned off the router mode on that c3700 i lost everything. so omewhere i click on a no no spot and the c3700 just locked me out. i had to do a factory reset to get back. this is what i see on the c3700 in advance under router.
Router Mode
Apply
Ok this would be a cause of you not being able to see cameras. You have two routers online at the same time. This is not recommended and causes connection problems.
Set the C3700 modem router mode to NO.
Then you'll be using the R series router as you main router then you chould be able to connect to the cameras...
ok thanks i will do that tomorrow and post the results. i did not want to do that again seems the last time that messed me up. but i may have had other things switched off as well. this time when i connected to the r6300 i turned off all the devices and then connected the modem to the router's yellow port then the router to the pc and the modem of course to the internet. and then turned them all back on and i got the r6300 as the connected device after i went to the routers setup tab and told it to set them up. i guess i figured that would set up everything. so now i know i have to do some stuff myself. thanks for the help and i will do it tomorrow. thanks.
added question when i turn off the c3700 router mode that will turn off the ssid broadcast correct? if not then will i need to un check those boxes or just leave them alone. thanks
When you turn off router mode, it should disable the wifi radios on the C3700 modem.
