R8000P Nighthawk router not working with Eero Pro 6E
After trading-in my Zyxel modem with the Eero pro 6E, my R8000P Nighthawk router no longer works. My ISP is Altafiber and I'm using fiber optics. Cat 6 is my cable from my ONT. Any help would be ap...
- Since the eero is managing DHCP, it'll have the address in it's attached devices page. Look that up in the eero and use it to access it
Is "modem only/pass through mode" the same thing as "bridge"?
Bridge mode did not work either.
In the eero settings, I couldn't find anything like a "pass through" mode.
Regarding changing the Netgear's IP address, I can't connect to it. I can find the wifi, but it says "Internet not available." Or "connected without internet." The Nighthawk app can't find the router.
I've tried resetting the router and the eero gateway devices and have the feeling that the fix is relatively simple, I'm just not finding it.
Hey, I'm a boomer and somewhat technologically challenged. I appreciate you working with me on this.
Thank you!
So how are you actually doing this?
altice gateway----->eero?---->R8000p?
If so, just put the netgear in access point mode.
Fiber Optics to ONT to Cat 6 to "eero Pro 6E" to Nighthawk R8000P.
Now I'm trying to work around the Nighthawk and just use the eero for all of my connections. Progress is slow.
I got a security camera to work. I'll try the same procedure on the others.
My Grizzl-E Smart EVSE remains a mystery.
If you're connecting the R8000P to the Eero, put the nighthawk in access point mode.
My Nighthawk app cannot access my R8000P. I don't know how to do what you are suggesting.
