How do I setup the AC1900-Nighthawk WiFi Router to be used as access point only?
I have a R6900 Router that needs to play nice with my ATT Uverse router and let the ATT router handle all network stuff especially IP assignments. My initial setup failed and the R6900 appears to be ...
There's a feature on the AT&T router called IP Passthrough or DMZPlus, depending on the model. Enable it and point it at the MAC address of your R6900. This will put the AT&T router into a sort of bridge mode. This will enable you to use your R6900 as a router.
OTOH, if you really want to use your R6900 as an Access Point, then it's enabled in ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless AP as you would have seen in the manual.
