R7000 AP Mode Can't reach admin panel after modem change
So my setup before I changed it had a Arris Cable modem from Suddenlink, a AC1900 Router for wifi (Wifi was turned off on the Arris Modem) I connected a cat5 from the port of the modem to the "internet" port of the AC1900. I was able to connect wirelessly to the AC1900 and be able to access both the router and the modem (192.168.1.1 and 192.168.0.1) I recently changed from wireless to hardwired on my gaming tower, Which I ran directly to the modem. Now I cannot access the AC1900 either between 192.168.1.1 or routerlogin.net. I have the router set at 192.168.1.1 due to some devices needing to be in that ip range. I cannot change the settings of the modem as it's locked from the provider.
Baciscally I need help getthing access to the AC1900 while hardwired into the modem.
Try a factory reset on the router. Reset the modem also. Then disconnect the wired connection between the router and your gamer and see if it still connects the old way. It should work the way you have it but sounds like something wierd is going on.

I changed the AC1900 over to 192.168.0.104 It works now. I have to change the other devices to that ip range which might not be possible. Thanks for the help
"AC1900" is a speed, not a model number. Ever helpful, Netgear product packaging emphasizes speeds like "AC1900", but that's not the model identifier.

Why to the "modem"(+router), and not to the R7000? ("my gaming tower" is not a very detailed description of anything. Windows?)

Then you may be out of luck. The router in the (unspecified) "Arris Cable modem"(+router) likely needs an explicit static route if you want it to direct any traffic to the R7000 for the 192.168.1.* subnet, which is normally a private/non-routed address range.
Normally, the (unspecified) "Arris Cable modem"(+router) would send any message for a subnet other than its own (192.168.0.*) out its WAN port, not to any device on its own LAN like (the WAN/Internet port on) the R7000, which would not help you, but, because the destination address in question is a non-routed one (192.168.1.1), the Arris router most likely discards it entirely.
> Try a factory reset on the router.
Not an action which would be likely to establish the required route.
I changed the IP of the R7000 to match the range of the modem (192.168.0.X) I just have to get the wallpanels and security system's IP's changed which is a pain in the butt as they like the 192.168.1.X range

Not much useful information there. Was something unclear?

> Ah, OK.
Not really.
If you want to make the R7000 into a wireless access point for the (unspecified) "Arris Cable modem"(+router), which is what you may almost have done, then you should go the whole way (and do it right). The R7000 User Manual shows how.
A potential problem with simply changing the LAN address of the R7000 is that it may still be running a DHCP server, which could easily conflict with the DHCP server on the Arris (modem+)router, leading to confusion all around.
Better. Why not simply (ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless AP) "Enable AP Mode"? Manually putting the WAN and LAN sides of the R7000 on the same subnet seems like asking for trouble.
> Ah, OK, so you are using the R7000 as a switch and an access point.
> No, Modem is basically the switch, R7000 is just the access point
"Modem" is a modem+router, with a switch. The R7000 is (or could be) a wireless access point with a switch. If you don't plug anything into it, then the switch may go unused, but it's there.

If you mean that wonky formatting, with "chevrons" rather than quotes, it does make it hard to read messages.
But to be fair to people who have not learned how to use the Quote button, and where to find the HTML toggle, the forum software does some funky stuff when it comes to word wrapping. I see too many messages that break the margins. I don't think that is user error.
Was it setting the IP address that made things work for you? You could help later victims by flagging your explanation as Solved. That makes it easier for people to home in on solutions,
