R7000 in Bridge mode
Hello I am trying to setup my Nighthawk R7000 ac1900 in bridge mode, but I am running into some issues. Here is my setup: Arris TG4482A Gateway -wifi-> R7000 Router(bridge) -ethernet-> Computer ...
Thank you for trying all those tests!
I wanted to change my channel, but it looks like its not an option on my gateway anymore…(thanks to a sneaky firmware update on their end..)
I downgraded the firmware to v126 to see if it helped, no luck.
Is there any settings I would need to do on my gateway part maybe?
Also, when re-doing a “fresh” install, comparing to your “status”, it said that the DHCP Client was still On, i thought it would automatically go off once its in bridge mode no?
I am pretty much a beginner in those kind of things, thank you for your help!

Can you ask the ISP to change the channels? Try 40 or 48 or 149 on the ISP modem

Did you factory reset and setup from scratch after you installed the FW?

Be sure any Smart Connect is disabled.

If the FW isn't stable, the router is of age now and not sure if NG will do anything to fix it.
Just to let you know I've left my R7000 up over the weekend. Been almost 4 days, still up and running good in brige mode. FW v.126 seems to be the most stable. Not sure what's wrong with v.13x versions.
