reestablish R6050 as AP
R7000 as router. R6050 as AP. R6050 is cabled to the R7000 with a run of ~60-70 ft. This setup has worked perfectly for years.
Recently, the R6050 seems to have lost all contact to the R7000. Devices near it no longer connect. The 50ghz and guest network no longer appear on list of networks when near the R6050.
I've reset the R6050 and want to set it up, again, as an AP. Found a web page directing me to routerlogin.net and login. went there. There is no login option. Another web page instructs me to connect the R6050 to the R7000, login, and get a popup that will babysit me. I get no popup.
How do I reconnect the R6050 as AP?
Fixed it. I was changing to AP and then changing IP from 192 . . . to 10 . . .
Reversed that. Changed IP, then changed to AP. Seems to work perfectly. Thanks.

Thanks. I've been there a number of times. Problem is there is no login. If you see a login on that link, let me know where it is.
If you factory reset the 6050 with out it being connected to anything accept for one wired PC connected in back, you should be able to access the routers web page and setup wizard at 192.168.1.1 after you press the reset button for 10 seconds then release. Once it's ready, try that address in any browser.
