Why are you trying to use both the C7000v2 and the "EERO Pro"? If
the router features of the C7000v2 were satisfactory, and the "EERO Pro"
was intended to extend the wireless-network coverage of the C7000v2,
then you might be happier if you return the C7000v2 to full-function
router mode, and employ the "EERO Pro" as a wireless access point.
