How to set up lan-lan cascade with Netgear R6300v2

Question

I'm unclear how to set up lan-lan cascade with Netgear R6300v2. I have tried to leave internet as select automatically, and then changed the lan to be 192.168.0.2, while my main router, and therefore gateway is set to 192.168.0.1. When I set this up, I can connect from computer to router, but not main router lan to Netgear R6300v2 lan.

I see this article on wireless ap mode, but I want both lan and wireless, i think.

So, my steps are:change the lan ip address as mentionedturn off dhcp serverturn on wireless ap?&nbsp;Do I need to have the same wireless broadcasts and/or passwords?Is there any problem connnecting this to UDM as main router?&nbsp;Thank.

Turning on AP&nbsp; mode, disables the dhcp server.&nbsp;You can set them with the same ssid/password as the primary router but it won't be a seamless setup. Devices will tend to be sticky and stay connected to the wireless they initially connected to until it drops/becomes unusable.&nbsp;&nbsp;I prefer to use different ssids in this instance.&nbsp;

Thanks.&nbsp; Unfortunately, nothing including the manual helped me figure out what sequence I was supposed to take. I was running in circles trying to connect pc to ap, then router to ap, if wireless ap also provided lan ap....i spent about 8 hours on it and finally got it figured out.&nbsp; No manual, no right up worked that I could find.&nbsp;if i recall, what worked:UDM lan to Netgear wanNetgear Lan to PCmodify Netgear Lan to 192.168.0.2Netgear AP activated&nbsp;Not positive, but think that worked.&nbsp;
