    Hi smk613,

     

    If the R6400 was configured as an AP then you will need to use the IP address assigned to it by the main router.

      Hi

       

      Maybe you can help. I have internet access now. I am not sure hw it configured itself. I cannot see it on the Optimum,net networks map and I can not get to the second router - i.e. genie cannot get at it and if i try to use www.routerlogin.net it gets grabbed by optimum and I see that router.

       

      Thanks
