Setup R7000 in Bridge Mode
I am the new owner of two Nighthawk R7000 Routers. One I have configured as a router - it's connected to an Arris Surfboard 6190 cable modem and working flawlessly with both wired and wirelsss client...
I'll try this one last time.
Ever been to a hotel?
They use AP's some hotels use dozens of them.
They also have one SSID to cover ALL the Guest rooms.
You're over thinking this instead of taking my suggestions.
Use AP mode
use same SSID on each band 2.4 xxx & 5G yyyy
Use different channels 2.4 1,6 or 11 5g 48 or 161
Use same security on all
Been doing this for 5 years IT DOES WORK.
Thanks for the reply - but no, I'm not tracking with.
Shouldn't, if the two devices are connected via ethernet, connect that way (rarher than wireless)?
The goal is to get greater bandwidth to AV devices that are way downsteam.
The bridge is a wireless connection,( Look at the picture in the link you posted) Why because the bridge is connected via WIFI to the main router. Plugging in a Cat xx cable means nothing BECAUSE you're using bridge when you SHOULD be using AP Mode.
USE AP MODE and all your concerns will be addressed.
