R6200V2 Doesn't Seem to Bridge
I just had Frontier service installed which requires the use of their FIOS wireless router. I have that downstairs and all my wireless devices/tv/ect connect just fine. I want to set my Netgear router up as a bridge so that I can use it for my non-wireless desktop and non-wireless HP printer upstairs (mostly want to use it in the role of a print server). I followed the basic instructions on the forum for setting up the Netgear router as a bridge. Seems pretty straight forward, and after completing the steps the router reboots as stated but I do not see the router, printer, or computer on the wireless netwook. I've attempted to print thinking that perhaps after bridging to the Netgear router it may not be visible but printing does not work. Because I can't see the Netgear router after reboot, in order to log into the router I have to reset the router back to factory settings to log on - and then start over. Stuck in a loop with no success. First, how would I know that the bridge was set up correctly - should I be able to see the bridge router, and/or second is there something more I need to do? Help and/suggestions would be appreciated.Solved5.9KViews0likes3Comments
