Network problem running as Access Point
I recently enabled my NightHawk router as an Access Point to my fiber modem/wireless router which my service provider does not give me managment access. I have noticed a few issues after enabling...
You could try using a different dns provider if the ping device allows it. Maybe its an issue with dns.
In access point mode, the primary router is whats controlling those features.
does it work find if you directly connect to the primary router?
Good point, and yes it doesn't seem to work from the service provider's router either. Can you please help me understand this issue...I can't imagine the pain it will be to try to find someone who can help with this from their support team.
If its not working directly connected to your isp's setup, then something in the gateway is stopping it.
Sadly, you would need to contact them to find out what.
Or you can try their forums/google to see if anyone else has had an issue with that specific gateway/setup.
Ok, thanks! I have been searching all day, and it really is hard to know what to even search for. My ISP is in Mexico, so it makes it even harder to get support or look through their forums.
Also, I didn't have this problem when I had the two router's daisy chained together. That said, I think you are right that the problem isn't with the AP. Maybe this weekend I will try to go back to that configuration just to see if it still works that way. I will confirm here if it does.
what actual gateway is it?
