R7000 bridge to Fios G1100 - not working
I'm trying to set up my R7000 in an upstairs room as a bridge to connect wireless to my FIOS G1100 router downstairs. I've spent the last couple of days following suggestions and FAQs, but it's not ...
I was able to get this working. I'm not sure what exactly resolved the issue (slap on the wrist for changing more than one thing).
1) Upgraded to newest firmware and reset.
2) Connected laptop to NetGear via WiFi and moved to close proximity of FIOS router. Made configuration changes with the laptop.
3) Used 2.4 GHz instead of 5.
Thanks for the reply. I have been very careful about the SSID/PWD. I’ve done it several times.
The IP definitely changes, but I’m not sure to what. It’s not connecting to the FIOS router to get a new one. I’ve read that it might go to 10.0.0.1?
If you look at the 4th screenshot, I mention that I don’t see the device connected.
The encryption is worth a try.

These screenshots will not become visible until they are approved by the Netgear moderators. They are not there now, so we are guessing what they show.
As "bridge" could mean one of several things, I assume that you are trying to use the R7000 as a wifi repeater, with a wireless connection back to the router.
In other words, you are looking to do what the manual says in the section: "Set Up a Wireless Distribution System". (See page 140.)
