Connecting to Nighthawk AC3200 R8000 Account

Thank you for the quick response.  According to a post I found on the Actiontec support site, it does not support bridging, and to do so might disable my VoD services.

I think (dangerous term) that my R8000 is working properly as an AP (which I assume means Access Point).  I have it plugged directly into one of my Netgear switches and I have the Wi-Fi on the Actiontec turned off.  All my wired devices are working properly.  All of my wireless devices are now connected to the R8000 (and speeds are 2x - 3x faster!).  I am able to use both the Genie app and direct connection to change router settings.  However, I can only do that if my PC is plugged directly into one of the ports of the R8000.  When I attempt to access the R8000 when I plug my computer back into the Netgear switch, I lose control of the router through both the Genie app and www.routerlogin.net.  The good news is that the wi-fi continues to work.  However, I would really like to move the router to a central location in my house where I don't have a computer connected to it.

I did find a workable solution.  I am able to connect to and control the router using a pc that is connected via wi-fi.  So, unless someone knows how to control the R8000 through the network (intranet) without being directly plugged into the port, I will use this solution.  It is not perfect (as it is my kid's pc) as I would prefer only my office pc have control over my network.

Thanks,
