Re: Bridge mode causes wireless to stop working r7000p to d6300

Want to use D6300 in bridged mode connected to R7000P and retain wireless connections through R7000P.
When the D6300 is powered up (has been placed in bridge mode) it stops the R7000P from connecting wirelessly to devices.
R7000P is on v1.3.1.44_10.1.23.
Can't remember what ver the D6300 is on, but it's the latest available version.
Can I do this or is the R7000P incapable of connecting to a bridge and retaining the wireless connections?
R7000P has not been put into bridge mode.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Bridge mode causes wireless to stop working r7000p to d6300
It should be possible to use the D6300 as a modem in bridge mode in front of your R7000P. You will want to disable wireless on the D6300 and have it acting only as a "pass-through" device.
The R700P should be operating in router mode. It will perform NAT, DHCP and provide wireless connectivity.

Not really 8-) - it's about establishing a wireless bridge as documented in How to set up Bridge mode on R6300, R6250 & R6200? ...assumng the D6300 does support the same.
There is however another Unresolved post from earlier this year https://community.netgear.com/t5/General-WiFi-Routers-Non/D6300-Wireless-Bridge-Refuses-To-Work/m-p/...

Re: Bridge mode causes wireless to stop working r7000p to d6300
Just wanted to avoid the confusion of operating a DSL router as a bridge (pure modem) vs. configuring a router wireless into bridge mode.

Thanks for all the replies.
Will have to consider whether to keep trying or give it away.
Will provide feedback if I continue and have any success.
Thanks again

Re: Bridge mode causes wireless to stop working r7000p to d6300
Greetings. Not sure how much of a "solution" I provided here. Depending on wireless as the sole means for a bridge connection isn't robust or sustainable as you have discovered. Bridging over ethernet is preferred and what I would recommend. DSL is becoming less common but does suit some people's application or needs.

Re: Bridge mode causes wireless to stop working r7000p to d6300
Just an update for those who have helped so far.
Have connected D6300 in bridge mode via ethernet cable and all appears to working fine.
Not what I wanted, but it works.
Will maybe still have a go at the wireless setup, but don't hold your breath waiting for an update
Thanks again
