R7000 AP Mode Can't reach admin panel after modem change
So my setup before I changed it had a Arris Cable modem from Suddenlink, a AC1900 Router for wifi (Wifi was turned off on the Arris Modem) I connected a cat5 from the port of the modem to the "inter...

Try a factory reset on the router. Reset the modem also. Then disconnect the wired connection between the router and your gamer and see if it still connects the old way. It should work the way you have it but sounds like something wierd is going on.

Have you tried resetting the router?

Yes, not a factory reset but a soft reset

I changed the AC1900 over to 192.168.0.104 It works now. I have to change the other devices to that ip range which might not be possible. Thanks for the help

"AC1900" is a speed, not a model number. Ever helpful, Netgear product
packaging emphasizes speeds like "AC1900", but that's not the model
identifier.

Why to the "modem"(+router), and not to the R7000? ("my gaming
tower" is not a very detailed description of anything. Windows?)

Then you may be out of luck. The router in the (unspecified) "Arris
Cable modem"(+router) likely needs an explicit static route if you want
it to direct any traffic to the R7000 for the 192.168.1.* subnet, which
is normally a private/non-routed address range.
Normally, the (unspecified) "Arris Cable modem"(+router) would send
any message for a subnet other than its own (192.168.0.*) out its WAN
port, not to any device on its own LAN like (the WAN/Internet port on)
the R7000, which would not help you, but, because the destination
address in question is a non-routed one (192.168.1.1), the Arris router
most likely discards it entirely.

Not an action which would be likely to establish the required route.- 707linemanSep 17, 2017Aspirant
I just got the worst headache trying to read that Antinode, might want to clean up how you respond to people. I got it working
