    thanks that must be it. i was talking about the r6300 router not the modem combo. so it them is up to date. but the issues it is giving me now means i will be just turning it off. it seems all my devices are still connected to the c3700 and 1 to the r6300 but my tablet showing my cameras now drops the video feed all the time. i connected it back up to see if it had an update coming it may stop this but it has not. so i will jsut get another combo unit and then not have to worry about my devices switching back and forth. thanks

thanks i will  check out that link. i'm not sure aobut the names one is netgear92 and one is netgear07 that is about all i know about naming them. and of course they have different passcodes. i did  change the admin passcode on both of them

so i went to that link and in advance and wireless i do not see an ap box to check on the r6300 router or the c3700 combo unit. i used the netgear genie to configure the r6300 to my system i figured that would take care of all the necessary settings.

 

update i found the ap check box i had to check another box to get that ap to show. then i checked it and now i can't log into that router. my phone says it is now disabled. so what is going on now? i guess i now have to factory reset it.

 

thanks
