D7800 & R7800 AP Mode
I recently purchased a D7800 modem router and decided to add the R7800 to increase wireless around my home. The problem is that when I set the R7800 in AP mode and login to the router settings, it s...
I think I managed to sort it.
On the R7800 Selected advanced settings - Router/AP/Bridge Mode - AP Mode. At this point selected use fixed address, restarted and DHCP was off.
On the D7800 (main modem router) in lan setup - reserved the ip address for the R7800
Lety see how it goes.
Thanks for your help :)
Can you manually change the 7800s IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.78, then disable the DHCP server on the LAN side, then connect a LAN cable to one of the LAN ports, NOT WAN port, to the D7800 modems LAN ports?
Thanks for replying, can you elaborate a little. How can I change the ip address of the R7800? and if i plug into both lans i cant see the R7800.
Thanks Mark
Go into Advanced settings under LAN and you should see the routers IP address of 192.168.1.1 change it to .1.78. Uncheck the Checkbox for DHCP server. This will disable this as your D7800 will be the DHCP server. Save settings and reboot or power off then back on the R7800. Connect 1 LAN cable to one of the LAN ports in back of the R7800 and connect the other end of this cable to one of the open LAN ports in back of the D7800. You'll be able to access the R7800 web page at 192.168.1.78 when in this configuration.
