make 2nd router an access point
Hello, Looking for a way to create an access point only, with an R6220 on my existing N300 Router. The catch is that I want to use 192.168.4.1 as the IP for the access point. Is this feasible wi...
The R6220 would be paired with a ( WNR2000).... (The unit has n300 on the rear)
So the reason is this. I have a couple Acurite weather stations and in order to get them online to be usable on an Iphone, etc, you have to buy an Acurite wi-fi station($$$), all of which is another just another router using 192.168.4.1 as it's default. I had this newer 6220 router sitting here for a couple months as a backup for the WNR2000 (4-5 years old) . Just thought I could get away with using it with the weather data

There are many hardware versions of WNR2000: WNR2000[v1], WNR2000v2,
..., WNR2000v5.

Thanks for the model numbers and the links to relevant documentation.

I know nothing about these gizmos, but none of that sounds very
plausible. At least one of us doesn't know how these things should be
configured/used.
