Can I use N750 router as access point or range extender?
I've recently replaced an N750 router I was using in my home. However, I would like to use the N750 as an access point or range extender to improve my wireless signal in a specific room of my home w...
I've got it working. Thanks.
Good thing you explained to NOT FOLLOW their instructions in the manual. That really screwed me up for a while.
Suprised at how poorly it was written.
Thanks again!
When doing a reset it went back to router mode. Download and read through the manual.
N750 is not a model number, so you might want to use the model number going forward.
I read the manual a few times now.
From Page 111,
To set up the router as an AP:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Internet port of this router to a LAN port in the other router.Cable this port to a LAN porton another router
2. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network.
3. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
This does not work for me. When I type the www.routerlogin.net I get my primary R7000, not the WNDR4000 which I want to use an access point.
Following these instructions is what got me in trouble earlier.
Can someone help me get to the WNDR4000 so I can configure the device? So far, I can only get to the R7000.
Typing the IP of the WNDR4000 is not working.
Please help.
Maybe if we were talking about the same router we could fix this.
The WNDR4300 which is linked to your N750 is a previous post ..................is not the same as a WNDR4000
THE ap mode of the WNDR4000 IS " F>>> up"
You cannot use the WAN YELLOW port in AP MODE I reported this to NG years ago.
AP MODE doesn't work.....
Follow these instructions............Connect a cable to PC, factory reset router..........login DISABLE DHCP....... connect using LAN port to r7000 lan port...login to r7000 ...determine the IP address of the 4000.....use address reservations to assign same IP so you won't forget it.
I still can't get it to work.
Tried connecting laptop via ethernet cable to the WDNR4000. It still can't connect. I factory reset. Reboot again
I've tried everything. It will not connect to this router.
does the laptop get a IP if not try resetting to factory defaults.... otherwise it's still in AP mode
I've got it working. Thanks.

I went through this 4 years ago with 2 4000's which I've since sent to the land fill. Glad the 13 hour project work out for you. LOL
