Nighthawk X4 R7500 AC2350 DNS problem

[genes161]

Can someone pls help me?

When I turn on "Enable Access Point Mode"

I get this dns problem and cant use the router. I can only connect to the second router that I have in my network.

The nighthawk is the first router and the other router that I can connect to is the second.

You need to have something on the network controlling dns/dhcp/net. 

so if you put a router in AP mode, it disables all that and it relies on a different router to control it. 

so it needs to go modem/gateway/routing device------>router in AP mode

And the device in AP mode, needs to come after the router managing it. Not before.

So, on the first router, my Netgear, this box gonna be unchecked?

[plemans]

correct. the first "router" connected to the modem should be in router mode. 2nd one should be in access point mode. 

What is your full setup? 

What modem/gateway do you have? 

then what router? 

Then you're connecting the r7500 to that router?

My second router is a dovado pro, old (2015)

But cant find access point in that one, guess it called something else, dhcp maybe?

[genes161]

Yes my first router after modem is the netgear nighthawk x4.

second is my dovado pro
