Re: Nighthawk r7000p linked to another r7000p
Hi,
Sorry I have my new router now and I hate to be a newb here but in my head i thought i could just:
cable from free port to internet port on new router.
let it get assigned a new IP address.
use IP to login into router.
change to AC mode.
lovely jubly.
not quite the case. it has been assign 192.168.1.27...this time out when using a browser to connect to and pings 100% packet loss.
Do i need to temporarily remove my old router and set this one up as i did the first? put it in AC mode and then lovely jubly?
If I do this though wont it assume 192.168.1.1 and then I'll have a conflict?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation. Get the User Manual (at least). Read. Look for
"Use the Router as a WiFi Access Point".
I'd connect power and a computer (only) to the new router. If you've
been fiddling with it, then do a settings reset. Then configure it as a
WAP, according to the relevant section of its User Manual. You might
need to lie to it a little to get it past its set-up wizard, so that
it'll let you do what you want with it.
When that has been done, connect the new router to the old/main
router (as instructed).
