XR500 as wireless ethernet bridge
I want to setup my XR500 as a wireless ethernet bridge. Why? Becuase I have an XR500 and 4 devices that do not have WiFi adapters in a room that I can't run a wire. I know I could use a cheaper router to do this, but I already have an XR500. I don't need to use the wi-fi on my XR500, except to brigde to another router. (If I could run a wire, I would use a 5 port Gb switch) Netgear has instructions for how to set up a router in bridge mode: https://kb.netgear.com/24105/What-is-bridge-mode-and-how-do-I-set-it-up-on-my-Nighthawk-router But I think these instructions are not for the XR500. Any help is appreciated.R7000 in bridge mode (AP) with Disney Circle
Hello, I have a R7000 router, in bridge mode wich is connected to my ISP supplied modem, a Huawei brand. I need to have the Huawei connected becuase it has a VOIP connection and the R7000 doesnt. I want to use the new Disney Circle, however when I go to connect to the R7000 via the iOS APP it says that I cant connect to the R7000 when it is in AP or Bridge Mode. My question is. How can I use Disney Circle (full paid access) with my current setup. Are then any settings or hardware changes I can do? I know I can remove the Huawei, but I will lose my VOIP.
