Problem connecting a R6120 router as access point to a C7000 Router-Modem
I am trying to set up an access point using a old R6120 Netgear WIFI router as the Access Point either net wired to my to my Night Hawk c7000 cable- modem/router. I am a bit new to this stuff and ...
Easiest way?
1. factory reset the R6120
2. leave it disconnected from the C7000
3. run through your setup on the R6120 to configure it how you want. Leave switching it to access point mode to last.
4. once its all configured, click it over to access point mode. While its rebooting, connect it to the C7000. Connect the R6120's wan port to a lan port on the C7000
5. The R6120's IP address should be in the C7000's attached devices page if you want to access it to modify it further.
