connnecting 2 netgear routers together

Without knowing more, it is hard to diagnose what might be going on.
I'm still finding it hard to work out what you are doing.
Take this:
Both were just set up standard and have been running fine for years until 2 days ago.
What do you mean by "set up standard"?
Two routers?
Does the R7900P connect to the Internet?
Then this:
Switched ports at the 7900 also and still nothing.
Switched ports?
Switched what to what?
Troubleshooting is a painstaking process that work up the chain a step at a time, with a clear explanation of what is going on.
