How to access R7000 when set as an access point?
I just set up my "old" R7000 as an access point to extend the wifi reach of my R8000. Just so we are clear. IT WORKS. I am able to connect to the R7000 wifi and get to the internet. The is...
I think I have come up with a "Work Around"
I connected a laptop directly to the R7000 and logged in and enabled the "Remote Management" Option
With that enabled I can login the router and see what is connected to it.
I am responsible for what I say, not what you understand.
I connected to the R7000 directly... (aka take a laptop. connect a Cat5 cable between the laptop and the R7000)
I set the R7000 so that remote administration was enabled.
Now I can connect to the R7000 with any computer on my network.
Now that I can login to the R7000 I can monitor the devices that are connecting to the R7000....

I'm not responsible for what you misunderstand. "[wireless] access
point" is a technical term with a specific meaning.

Then you didn't configure "the R7000" as a WAP.

I would not be amazed if any random twelve-year-old understood this
material better than you, but a non-psychic twelve-year-old would not
likely be able to answer any of the pending questions about what you did
or what you observed.
If you're happy, then I'm happy, but if you think that you know what
you're doing, then you might be mistaken about that, too.
