    What are you using to look for it?

     

    Are they both set to broadcast in the browser graphical user interface (GUI)? Is that what you mean by this bit?

    By the way,the R6120 is pretty basic. According to Netgear's manual for this device, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer internet services and most modern network hardware. This may not matter to you, but be warned that it will hobble you if you ever sign up for faster Internet. It also slows down whatever is going on in your local network. Newer devices support 1000BASE-TX.
