  • More details are needed. 

    1. you have the R6260

    2. what firmware is on it? 

    3. what modem/gateway is it connected to? 

    4. What error do you get when you try to connect to the main wifi? 

    5. does it impact wired devices? 

     

    Details are key to helping. We don't know your setup, what devices you're connecting, what errors you're getting, or whats happening. So you need to be detailed in explaining it. 

     

    Also, if its new, there's 90 days of free support. 

    To get a hold of support. Click on "MyNetgear" at the top.
    Register an account (or login) and then the device.
    From there you can start the support process. Keep in mind that its only free for the first 90 days.

    What does that mean?

     

    Are you saying that wifi devices can connect only to the "guest" wifi from your router? The router doesn't connect to the "guest" wifi. It broadcasts it.

     

    Cannot print with what? What printer? Connected how?
