    Disconnect the R7000 from everything except power.  Perform a factory reset by pushing the physical reset button for about 8 to 10 seconds until the lights flash off and on.  Wait for the router to reboot.  Then, connect a single computer to one of the LAN ports on the R7000.  Point the browser at routerlogin.net or 192.168.1.1.

     

    Configure the Wi-Fi, as desired.  Then enable AP Mode.  At this point, your computer will probably lose its connection to the R7000.  Connect the R7000 WAN port to your Brighthouse router LAN port.  Test Internet access.

     

    Once the R7000 is in AP mode, routerlogin.net may no longer work, so you may have to log in using whatever IP address it obtained for itself from the Brighthouse router.  You may have to log into the Brighthouse router to find the IP address assigned to the R7000.  You can also set up the R7000 with a static IP address.  This option is available when enabling AP Mode.
