OMG GUYS! FINALLY DID IT!!!!!!
My netgear wifi was giving me issue and not connecting to the 5ghz. And I had to restart my pc and or disabling the connection so it could connect withouht issue.
I did the hardcore reset. (as one of you guys mention)
This was my step.
1. Turn off everything and disconnect everything entirely, and connected again with the cables.
2. Turn the Arris modem and reset it.
3.Turn off the Netgear and reset.
4. Turn the Netgear and reset it again.
5. Connect the yellow cable to the main modem
6. Wiat for everything to boot up and issue solve
Guys thank you SO much for all the help, even though it did took me a lot to figuer it out and or understand this issue. Thanks for the advices and the ideas, they help me also to understand a bit.
I din't have to do nothing inside the Arris gateway. Now I can acess the gateway of my netgear. And din't think with logic, I just wne bananas and disconnect and did the hardcore reset. Now I will go and watch a guide to set up everything on my netgear from the gateway.
P.s. Finally! honestly thanks, thanks. I'm happy.
OK. With AP mode enabled, the R8500 by default will have a dynamic address assigned by your modem/router. You will need to log into your modem/router and find the address it assigned. Use this address to log into the R8500. Write it down.
If the modem/router has an address reservation system, then you may want to use it in order to give the R8500 a stable address. Alternatively, configure the R8500 to use a static address, but you will have to make sure it is outside the range of addresses that can be assigned by your modem/router but is still inside the subnet.
Oh okay.
I think I understood you. When I open my modem using the IP adress of the modem, there I can assign the specific adress to my router in order to fully access the routers potential feuters?.
I think that is the issue then? Because when I call the company (as I recall) they told me that the modem is turn off in order so my router could function. So the wifi connections don't interfere with one and other.
