r7200 static routes and AP

 

 

I'm having trouble when I get on my ATT Fiber router from being able to access my private LAN on my Nighthawk.

 

 

 

 

 

Am I not seting up my static route correctly??

 

Also, I cant access my nighthawk app on my phone when i'm directly conected to the wifi nighthawk router.

Wont let me logon.  Times out.

         Why cant I see my pictures???

      Also I'm interested in turning this wired nighthawk into an AP of my ATT fiber gateway router but I dont see any way to

      do it on the Router Selection type screen   (Router/AP/Bridge mode screen)

        Pictures have to be approved by a moderator and that can take several days. 

        You can click "choose file" and attach them. 

         

        to put the R7200 in access point mode, you'd need to login through the browser and not with the app. Have you tried that route

         "trouble" is not a useful problem description.  It does not say what
      you did.  It does not say what happened when you did it.  As usual,
      showing actual actions (commands) with their actual results (error
      messages, LED indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague
      descriptions or interpretations.

       

      > [...] when I get on my ATT Fiber router [...]

       

         Not a very detailed description of that device.  How is it
      configured?  To what is it connected?

      > [...] from being able to access my private LAN on my Nighthawk.

       

         What does "my private LAN" mean to you?

       

      > Am I not seting up my static route correctly??

       

         Can't see it.  Apparently, the moderator did not like your pictures.


         I'd forget any Netgear app, and stick with a web browser.

       

         If you're cascading multiple routers, then why?  You might be happier
      if you configured the inner router (R7200?) as a wireless access point.

       

         Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
      for Documentation.  Get the User Manual (at least).  Read.  Look for
      "Set up the router as a WiFi access point".

       

         If you really want to cascade the two routers, then the useful static
      route would be configured on the _outer_ router, not on the inner router
      (R7200).
