Using Nighthawk as an access point
Dear Community, I have internet via Cable. My router is in the basement of my home - and the wifi signal pretty bad on the first floor. I bought a Nighthawk D7000v2 and wants to use it as an Acces...
That should work. I have a similar setup with an old R6400. Maybe it is a cabling issue. Have you checked and or replaced the cables?
Hi Feobrien,
super thanks for your answer. Yes, I changed the cable - no better.
The wifi is almost never avalaible - and the internet button orange.
Did you do any special config in the router interface ?
I believe the led is orange becuase it is a low speed connection 10 vs 100 MB. I see you have two wires plugged into the "access point'. I assume one is from the other router downstairs and the other is connected to something hardwired in that room. Is the hardwired device in that room working? Also plug the input to the "access point" from downstairs into the yellow "internet" input.
