How to access and un-bridge a NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 Smart Wi-Fi Router (R8000)
I am ditching Spectrum. When I signed up I got Spectrum Router. I bridged the Nighthawk to the Spectrum Router to have extra Lan Ports. How do I un-bridge the Nighthawk? I cannot access the login...
The white internet button is the second one from the bottom.
The LAN Ports are amber when a ethernet cable is attached - that does not mean they work. They blink when there is traffic.
I bridged one router.
Nighthawk X6 AC3200 Tri-Band WiFi Router Model R8000 is almost 9 years old. I purchase a Netgear Meah system from Amazon today. Time for a change. I am ditching the Spectrum Router.
See Diagram Below.
Thank you for your reply.

Guess it depends on how you look at it.
In the manual (top view) the internet button is the second one from the top.
The second one from the bottom, in the manual, is the Wi-Fi LED.
But these things can also work "upside down".

Could be a good move if that meets your needs. Technology keeps changing, especially on the Wi-Fi front.
After years with an even older R7800 router, trying out a new model tells me that it is time to move on.
But don't ditch the R8000 until you find out if it meets your needs.
My new reouter doesnlt do ReadySHARE to add USB drives to mey netqwrk. So the old router, in AP mode, now acts as a poor man's (cheapskates) network attached storage.
