hooking up 2 routers Netgear RAX4 and Netgear AC3200

I have both of these routers and would like to hook both of these up on the same network (Spectrum Internet) due to distance from the first router to the AC3200.  RAX40 is the primary, AC3200 will be some distance away.

When I go to routerlogin.net, will not let me log into the AC3200, even though I log out the RAX40.

I reset the AC3200 Router back to factory default and see the IP as 192.168.1.2 on my tv which is what I want, and shows it connected on smart TV and shows "login into network".

 

Any assistance in setting up a secondary router off of the primary router is sincerely appreciated.

 

Thank you;

David

did you install the AC3200 (hint, thats its speed, not model) in access point mode? 

Otherwise it causes a double nat. 

A double nat happens when you cascade more than 1 router.
