Advanced mode disabled on my router menu (wnr2000v3)

Question

Hello,The button "Advanced" on the menu of my router doensn't work (wnr2000v3).&nbsp;I click on it but nothing happens and I really need this menu to put my router in bridge mode.I have already reset the router but it does not change anything.I access this menu by ip 10.0.0.1, since 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 is taken by my main network. Indeed my router on which I have the problem is a subnet.I have already tried unplugging my problem router from my main network to access the advanced menu, but it does not work.In addition, I tried to enter the advanced menu from the test and test links (only accessible when I unplug it from my main network) but it does not work.Thanks for your help !

Have you tried a different browser/device?&nbsp;
Also, you've said you're running it on a different subnet, so are you running it in access point mode?&nbsp;
Some features are disabled in access point mode.&nbsp;
Is there a reason you're running a double nat?&nbsp;
Cascading routers can cause issues.&nbsp;

Good morning,Thank you for your answer.Yes I tried on different devices and on different browser.I would like to set my router on bridge mode. I don't think that my router is on point access. Bridge mode and point access mode is the same ?Actually I just want to have a second wifi transmitter but on the same network. I think that the bridge mode is the best option, isn't it ?

No. Bridge mode and access point mode aren't the same.&nbsp;
If you're planning on hardwiring in the WNR2000v3, then you'd want access point mode.&nbsp;

If you said you reset your router and logged in with the IP 10.0.0.1 then you haven't reset it correctly. You need to press the reset button with a paper clip for about 30 seconds. Then you'll be back to factory default where you can log into it through 192.168.1.1 or www.routerlogin.net. Hope that helps.

Either that, or it has been setup after the reset and has spotted another router on the network and allocated that as the local IP address.
&nbsp;
All in all, this seems to be a messy network, best solved by putting the wnr2000v3 into AP mode as plemans advised.
&nbsp;
It is an old (2010 for V3 with V1 in 2008) router, which means that the manual doesn't spell out how to put it into AP mode. That was added in later hardware versions. Perhaps even in new firmware for V3. So it might be worth digging out a manual for V4 or V5 to see if that also applies to this V3.
Visit the support pages:Support | NETGEARFeed in the model number and check the documentation.Read the section in the V5 manual Use the Router as a Wireless Access Point.
