That’s it mate I’m trying to use the tp link as a bridge for the gaming router. So far I have got the PS4 with a nat type1 tthrough netgear which is great, and managed the wireless to work, so technically i’ve Solved the issue, but when I try to access the the router settings I have no chance, and the whole point in buying this router is to tweak the settings so I can get the most optimum performance online gaming, I have tried everything, keep getting the same message even going through the app. It’s something to do with me getting the message that my IP address is going to change, think it’s conflicting something, but doesn’t make sence I’m getting the router to work through ps4 and iPad, I’m using iPad to set up router could that be the issue thx.
Thx m8 i’ll Go down the tplink route, one thing when I first tried to set up the router it asked me 2 security question’s which I ga e answers to but when I try to put the answers in it said wrong answers, now I can’t even find that option, sorry if I’m being vague, it should be such an easy thing to do I just can’t see why I can’t acsess the router settings even though I can get on the routers network with ps4 and iPad.
Did you walk thru the setup wizard with a wired PC and web browser? Might try a reset and setup from scratch. Use a wired PC and web browser to walk thru the setup wizard. Be sure to write down all important information for safe keeping.
That’s the thing bro i’ve Only goy ps4, and I pad to work with. So you think if I use tp link as a bridge and have wired connection To rx300 through laptop or pc I could get it to work.
Thx for all your suggestions guy’s I finally got the ap to acknowledge the network, but I know now I need a pc to be able to tweak stuff like QOS and get the best settings for PS4 online, I tried using the router through ps4 wired it cut out twice in an hour but it said I have Nat type 1 in your opinion using the tplink w9970 as a bridge do you think I can get a decent ping, thx.
Having any data traverse wireless or wireless bridge will add to ping and quality of the data flow as there is processing of the data between the AP and wireless bridge so this may add to pings and such. Wired connections will always be better in this area. Not much you can do with wireless connections.
If your wired connectiong is cutting out, ensure your using too quality CAT6 cables. Set an IP address reservation for the PS on the router.
i’ll have to grab a laptop next few days and have a go bro,I have the 2 router’s next to each other with Ethernet cable the TP link in bridge mode not wireless, the only reason I have this set-up is because my isp is vdsl talk talk and this is the only way I can get the rx300 to work, I know it’s not one size fits all but once I get laptop any advice on the best setup to get the lowest ping wired ps4, I only really play 1 game pes2020 I tried opening ports got a more stable signal, but was slower.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Built in router here by chance? If so, This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
Couple of options, 1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly. 2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem.

Hi Alex, yea I have talk talk internet and the Rx300 has no vdsl port, I bought it from eBay thinking it would be a quick fix for a much better gaming experience, but I can’t even see the setup menu as I have no pc or laptop. The thing is I may be able to grab a laptop for a day or so but with the Dumas and qos is it something I have to play around with to get the best results. What’s your advice to a complete novice to try get the best ping, so far I know how to put tp link in bridge mode and I have opened ports before and created a static ip, but never used a netgear router before any help much appreciated.
Do you think trying to bridge the w9970 tplink and the Rox will increase ping, would I be better off trying to get the model no. With a modem as I’m in the k with talk talk internet and if so what’s the best netgear model to get for my needs, thx Alex.
Alex mate I have laptop now, if I can’t get bridge mode to work can I try ap mode to link the w9970 and the rx300 any tips massively appreciated, laptop doesn’t have Ethernet port so I’m trying with 2 routers linked Ethernet cable, thx pal, just info on op addresses and dns.
Just had a 25minute live chat with tp link, at the end they said they cant do anything for me as there not familiar with the netgear router loool grrr. All I need to do is put the tplink in bridge mode and try use the nighthawk, which when I follow the right guidelines isn’t letting me acsess the nighthawk network,tried everything bro.
