7800 Client Mode?
Is it possible to setup my R7800 as a client? I used to have my own connection through Sparklight I originally bought it for a couple years ago. Unfortunately now I'm in an appartment & trying to avoi...
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.
What modem do you have? the R7800 is a router only device.
- Do you mean the one I'm trying to bridge with? It's Hiltron our landlord leases from Sparklight. I'm not sure model number. As for mine it's a Nighthawk X4S AC2600 R7800.
Are you setting up the R7800 for Dynamic or static IP addressing when configuring the Bridge mode settings?
How is the modems wifi configured? SSID name, CHANNELS and WPA mode?

Attached in 3 replies because of limit are pics of everything so you can cross examine. I've looked over a dozen times though, matches up, should work.
