R7000 AC1900 Layer 2 only?
hi. I have a R7000 AC1900 Nighthawk wireless router that I would like to use as just a Layer 2 switch, no wireless, no routing, just Layer 2 to downstream devices connecting them upstream to my ISP g...
Well give router mode a try, disable DCHP and wifi on the router and connect it using one of it's LAN ports.
I would try setting to AP mode. I have one up & running in AP mode already.
but it seems that when I apply the change to AP mode & the router reboots, I lose management of it.
but then again, maybe I'm doing that wrong too... wouldn't be the first time.
TIA.
Be sure your using the new IP address of the unit to access it's web page after you make the change.
