Advanced mode disabled on my router menu (wnr2000v3)
Hello, The button "Advanced" on the menu of my router doensn't work (wnr2000v3). I click on it but nothing happens and I really need this menu to put my router in bridge mode. I have already reset ...
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.
If you're planning on hardwiring in the WNR2000v3, then you'd want access point mode.
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.
All in all, this seems to be a messy network, best solved by putting the wnr2000v3 into AP mode as plemans advised.
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.

Feed in the model number and check the documentation.
Read the section in the V5 manual Use the Router as a Wireless Access Point.
