Replaced with what?
If it was another router, then your best bet is to disconnect the WNRD4300 from anything, set that to AP mode and then put it back into the network.
How do I change my NETGEAR router to AP mode? | Answer | NETGEAR Support
When it is in AP mode, you need to track down the IP address and feed that into a browser.
You should be able to do this by going to the router's "connected devices" list.
A useful approach is to set the IP address on the WNRD4300 when you set it up in AP mode. Then you will always know how to get at it.
Thank you for responding! Yes, replaced the AX20 with another AX20.
When you say "disconnect the WNDR4300 from anything", I'm not sure what you mean. The WNDR4300 is connected via ethernet cable to the AX20. If I disconnect that, I won't be able to see the WNDR4300 at all.
Are you saying I should cut the AX20 out of the chain and connect the cable modem to the WNDR4300 directly?

Yes. Temporarily plug the WNDR4300 into a PC. Set it up in AP mode. Then reconnect the AX20.
Can you see the WNDR4300 as a connected device in the AX20? (You'll have to look in the manual for the AX20 to see how to do that.) If so, look for its IP address and put that into a browser. Then put it into AP mode.
Yes, I can see it from the AX20 and have the IP address for the "connected device."
Off to find a PC with an Ethernet port!
Thank you! Fingers crossed.
