C7000v2 bridge mode and native wifi
Hello. Just got my c7000v2 and have easily connected with Comcast. Piece of cake. My question is pretty simple, I think. With my last modem (Comcast Arris rental), in bridge mode, I still had wifi...
Follow this for your DIR-880L router to configure it for AP mode:

If you want to use the DIR router in router mode with the modem in router mode and avoid a double NAT issue, you can input the IP address the DIR router gets from the modem and put this into the modems DMZ. I use this all the time for having two routers on the same line.

The upstairs router is a D-Link DIR-880L and doesn't appear to have an access point mode (router/bridge).
C7000v2 Modem subnet: 192.168.0.1x
DIR-880L Router subnet: 168.192.100.1xx
I have had it set up with both in router mode since Sunday morning and so far, nothing seems to be amiss, though I read there can be conflicts because of NAT being enabled on the C7000v2 Modem.
The only things recorded in the event log on the C700v2 are 2.4GHz WiFi channel changes.
It worked great. All set. Good speeds (see attached), no conflicts. The D-Link router doesn't think it's connected to the interwebs because there's no WAN, but it's working great. I changed the WiFi network names to match on each router and assigned static channels to each. Connected devices easily switch channels depending on signal strength as you move through the house.
Very slick. Thanks for all the help FURRYe38 and antinode.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
