Using R7800 bridge mode (ping general failure)
Hi. Recently, I bought and use R7800 due to a device failure. I have error after changing the switch Symptoms experience internet loss non-periodicly every 1 to 2 hours. As a result of continuing ...
Hi.
I decided not to use bridge mode, but to take two IP Subnet bands. (I changed it to Router mode.)
In bridge mode, intermittent break still occurs, but the problem does not occur after changing to Router mode. Perhaps there is a problem with the bridge mode operating on the R7800.
Anyway, I avoided that problem, and after changing to Router mode, I need to set up NAT in a small way, but I'm satisfied.

And connected it to what? As usual, a clear description of your
network hardware, and how it's all connected, might be helpful.
Do you mean that you ran an Ethernet cable from your (unspecified)
main router to the R7800-as-router? Or what?
If so, then you might want to configure the R7800 as a wireless
access point, instead of as a full-function router.
Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual. Look for "Use the Router as a
WiFi Access Point".

I don't know what that means, but you shouldn't need to do it with
the R7800 configured as a WAP.

If an R7800 in bridge mode would have satisfied your needs (if it had
worked properly), and if you've now run an Ethernet cable from from your
(unspecified) main router to the R7800, then it seems to me that all
you'd need would be a simple network switch, not any kind of router or
WAP. (An R7800-as-WAP will serve as a network switch, but a plain-old
network switch should cost much less.)

Ok with me, but it might help some future reader if you explained
more clearly what satisfied you.
