Connect my WNR2000v2 to my 10.x.x.x network
I have recently acquired an AcuRite weather station which needs to be connected to my home network which is a 10.x.x.x network. The AcuRite ip is 168.1.1.4, and I am able to connect to it with my pho...
Possibly I was unclear, about what I did, and I should have mentioned that I also have a Netgear Nighthawk R7000P. It used to be my only wifi/router and I operated it in bridge mode. I recently changed ISP and I got a new modem/router with that, so I am using it as the router and using the Nighthawk as a repeater. Both wifi networks are working find and I have no trouble hooking things up to either wifi. Everything works except this AcuRite device. Since it is not close to the two wifi sources, I thought the problem might be wifi signal strength, and perhaps I could use the old WNR2000 to deliver a stronger signal to the AcuRite. Logically, if it hooks to wifi, the master router should assign it an appropriate IP using DHCP, but regardless of the fact that the AcuRite say it is connected, nothing I connected to shows it being connected, such as the Nighthawk App, or the ISP modem UI.
I'm thinking bad device at this point, although all its other functions work.
You have a complicated network. You have left out a lot of essential details.
That adds more detail. But not enough to make everything obvious.
Take this bit:

What do you mean by "bridge mode"? That' term means different things with different devices and different contexts. (Modem bridge is not the same as router bridge.)
Do you mean WiFi repeater mode on the R7000P? Feeding wifi to the WNR2000v2?
Or is the WNR2000v2 in AP mode?
How did the WNR2000v2 get the IP address 10.x.x.x? Or is that the R7000P?
You didn't say what modem/gateway/ONT that sits between the R7000P and the Internet. It can be important, hence the question.
Why not start with the problem in hand? How to connect the AcuRite weather station to your network? Then take it from there.

Which device is that? The WNR2000v2? The R7000P? The weather station?
