Ive changed channels, upgrades QoS, eliminated wifi from base modem/router and nothing. Of the 50 mbs Im suppposed to see, I only get, if lucky 20. At an average, I see 10. Are there otuer tweaks I ca...

If you've been changing the attached device (router or PC) that connects to the modem you'll have a problem connecting as the modem is looking for a specific MAC Address.
Here is what you need to do:
- POWER all PC's, the ROUTER, and the MODEM OFF
- Next power ON the MODEM and wait for it to come on line (lights all basically on, but some might flash), a few minuted maybe depending on the modem.
- Next power ON the router and wait for it to fully come up, again, a few minutes.
- Next the PC and all the wireless to connect, the wired ones will automatically.
That should fix it.
What MODE is the router in may I ask? Advanced Tab, Advanced Setup, Router / AP / Bridge / Repeating Mode shows what mode you are in, possibly AP?
The modem should be in BRIDGED mode and then connected to the Router which serves the wired and wireless devices. If the modem can produce wireless signals it is not in Bridged mode. However I don't think this matters.
What IS the error message?
Open a COMMAND PROMPT and enter IPCONFIG /ALL and paste in the Ethernet section please, it should look like this:

When I try to log on to the router page, I get a "bad request" error message. Host name invalid. Netgear model # a1900/R7000
I failed to mention the r7000 is NOT connecting to the modem/router

Not connecting as in you have NO Internet or there is no wire between the modem and router?
I wondering about this line, "IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.164(Preferred)"? Why is the PC IP Address that? Not normal unless YOU (or whoever set up the LAN) has preset that address? Either via the Network Adapter Properties or on the Router by MAC Address as a reserved address?
What are you using to try and reach the router's homepage? What browser? What are you entering in the URL?
I'm using Intgernet Explorer and signing on with www.routerlogin.net. The R7000 is now showing in my list of available wifi connections as netgear93 and when I sign on to that one using the passwoard provided with the router it connects, brings up IE but connects to MSN.com, not the router page. In the Network and Sharing page, it shows up there as a private network, but, not connected to the internet. On the same page, I was able to change the mysterious public network to a private one, but, its name is not what I had originally.
