    Thanks for the reply. They can not communicate in the third configuration.  It is too bad that netgear does not document what AP mode does.  I was able to get everything working by only using the lan ports and undoing the AP mode and just disabling DHCP. I set a fixed IP address below the first address given by the main router and now I can't figure out how to manage the 2 routers I am using as APs. But, since it works that is a problem for a different day.

Hi DashQuark,

 

All three setups should work. On the third setup, may I know how you're testing the TiVo's whether they can communicate?
