You already have your own router/wifi in the apartment? you just want the r7800 to connect to it so you can hardwire a pc into the r7800?

- Yes & no, the router/modem combo that's providing wifi in my appartment is upstairs in my landlords area. It's just one of those combo units leased from Sparklight. Probably a Hiltron CGNM-2250. Yeah I want my 7800 to connect to it wirelessly so I can just plug my desktop pc into my 7800.
Should connect fine.
- Unfortunately it wont, settings attempt to apply but then the page refreshes & says unable to connect. From that point forward I can't log into my modem at all. Acts as if it's bricked, have to use that tiny pin reset button on back to reset the modem to factory defaults.
