R6400 used as a switch, not as a router

Yes it is the same issue. I tried the AP setting and it did not work. Thanks for your help.

I want to use my Nighthawk router as a switch so I turned off the wifi on the Nighthawk and connected the router (switch) via ethernet to the T mobile router. 

You could turn the R6400 into a wireless access point. Then just turn the wifi off with the switch on the top.

Is there a way that I can still use the Readyshare in the Nighthawk in order to use the USB port on the Nighthawk as a network drive?

I see no sign that AP mode disables ReadySHARE.

But you'll have to try it.

 

Is this related to the issue you asked about six months ago?

PS There really was no need to waste anyone'e time by going to a different section to deal with this issue. The question is generic and the answer would be the same for the Nighthawk section as it is for this one.
