Can the AC1750 serve as an extender?
Trying to set up an AC1750 as a range extender, can that be possible?
It's an R6400
The R6400 with stock firmware won't really work as an extender. If you are willing to install third-party firmware, then it will have support.
I'm trying to log into my AC1750 R6400 router so I can convert it into an access point. I'm doing this through the FIOS Modem/router that Frontier provided. Unfortunately, when I try to login to it through www.routerlogin.com or www.routerlogin.net, Netgear tells me:
You are not connected to your Router’s WiFi network. To access routerlogin.net, your device must be connected to your Router’s WiFi network. Check your current connection and try again.
I cannot get into the Netgear router to change it's settings.
How can I bypass the Frontier modem/router? Even the entry to it is coax and mine is ethernet.
Thank you.
What is your goal? To use the R6400 as a router or as an Access Point?
I want to use the AC1750 R6400 as an Access Point, wired through a Powerline adapter that I have plugged in my bedroom.
The Frontier modem/router is on one end of the house, and my bedroom is about 150 feet diagonally on the other end of the house where I hardly get a wifi signal. The one thing Frontier FIOS told me, is that for some reason, it is not bridgeable.
In order to do that I connected the AC1750 to the Frontier modem/router via an ethernet cable and attempted to log into the AC1750 that I want to use as an access point, but I got the error message: You are not connected to your Router’s WiFi network. To access routerlogin.net, your device must be connected to your Router’s WiFi network. Check your current connection and try again.
