Nighthawk R7000: How to access devices connected to LAN wired ports?

Hello all, 

 

I have a Nighthawk R7000 / AC1900 WiFi router that I've been using for years. I have a problem and am stuck.

 

How can I use WiFi clients (laptop, tablet, etc.)  connected  to the R7000 — to gain access to three ethernet devices connected to the LAN ports of the R7000?

 

• The devices connected to the LAN ports have IP addresses of 10.0.0.1, 10.0.02, and 10.0.03
• The Wifi laptop and tablet  are automatically assigned IP addresses by the Nighthawk as 192.168.1.x, etc.

I expected that when I used the laptop on the 192.168.1.x network to access a device on the 10.0.0.x network, the R7000 would route the traffic correctly.  Instead, nothing happens.  

 

I've tried using Bridge mode and AP mode but no luck.  Any ideas?

 

Thank you!

Jeff

Can you change the set IP address of the three Ethernet connected devices?

If so, go to the Advanced -> Setup -> LAN setup and set the default router local IP address to 10.0.0.1.  Then set the DHCP address pool to 10.0.0.100 to 10.0.0.200.

Once you have made the changes, it would be necessary to restart your entire LAN in sequence.  Power everything down and disconnect the power cord and Ethernet cord from your modem.  Power the modem up and give it plenty of time to boot and stabilize.  Once done, connect and power up your R7000 and give it time to power up and stabilize.  Then power up the remaining devices on your LAN.
