How would i go about using a netgear 7550 as a second router?

[humbll]

Hi, I recently switched isp s, I have the netgear 7550 from the old isp, and a new satellite modem / router with 4 lan ports. I wish to hook up the 2 routers so that the 7550 connects to the web through the new router. Would I just connect an ethernet cable to a lan port on each router or is it more complicated than this? If so, what steps would I need to take to make this happen? Thanks in advance for any advise!

ok i hooked up the ethernet cable from lan port to lan port and hooked my computer to the netgear 7550 and have internet access! I have a problem though, my reolink nvr camera system is hooked up to the 7550 and will not connect, and when i type the ip address of the 7550 i get an error that the connection was reset, before when i typed the ip address it took me straight to the 7550s configuration page where i could log in and mess around with the settings, now: nothing. What am i missing?

   Netgear doesn't support it.  Have you found a User Manual for it?

   Not the whole job.

   _Which_ "the ip address"?

   A few things.  See, for example:

   That's written for a Netgear C6300-as-WAP, but the steps are about the
same for any other router (any make/model) which lacks a one-step WAP
option.

   If the 7550 _does_ have a one-step WAP option, then I'd advise trying
that first.

   Note that that scheme leaves the WAN/Internet port on the
router-as-WAP unconnected.  (A WAP is all-LAN.  A model with the
one-step WAP option effectively reconfigures its WAN/Internet port as
another LAN port.  Without the one-step WAP option, you need to use only
the LAN ports.)
