OK,
Have a Spectrum wireless appliance.
Have a R6300.
Want to make the R6300 a WAP.
Have the Spectrum system working, laptop plugged into my docking port.
Plugged the R65300 into the extra LAN plug on my PC.
I probably need to unplug the Spectrum wireless.
Then I amy be able to access the R6300 to change it to a WAP???
Thoughts?

That tells me nothing. Has it a maker and a model number? Is it
some kind of router, or modem+router, or what?
> Have a R6300.
So, definitely _not_ an R6300v2?

Still a mystery.

You ran an Ethernet cable from some hole or other on the R6300(?) to
_what_, exactly? You'd likely be wiser to use one Ethernet interface on
your computer at a time.
A cable has two ends. For each cable, what, exactly, does it connect
to what, exactly? (Hint: If a device has different types of Ethernet
ports, then "connected to device" is not enough detail.)

"unplug" what, exactly, from what, exactly? Why?

I'd call the instructions in that thread cited above pretty clear and
detailed. Nothing there mentions a second Ethernet interface on the
computer. I'd stick with those instructions.
