We will not be able to help on that.If you’re connecting either an AirPort Extreme or a Time Capsule to your eero network, you’ll have to disable the wireless and routing functions on either your Airport device or your eeros. It is your call as far as any changes or modifications to the Netgear modem/router. There is really no need to do this, even if it might be possible. It sounds like you were trying to configure the Netgear modem/router to operate only as a modem.not a router. Nothing changes, the Netgear just stops broadcasting a WiFi signal. In other words, turning off the WiFi does not turn off the routing functions of the product. I assume that the Netgear.which is a lot more sophisticated than the Apple.can do so as well. The product still operates as a wired modem/router when you do this. If you don't want the Netgear modem/router to provide a WiFi signal, most modem/routers will allow the WiFi to be turned off. Just ignore the WiFi signal of the Netgear modem/router, or use it as a "guest network". We also mentioned that you could connect a second AirPort to the first AirPort using a wired Ethernet cable connection if you needed more WiFi signal coverage in another part of the house. This will work fine, and no changes at all to the Netgear modem/router are required. We told you that you could connect an AirPort Extreme to the Netgear modem/router using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection and set up the AirPort to provide a WiFi network. I'm sorry, but we never suggested that you make any changes to the Netgear modem/router. Is there something else I need to do with the modem settings when I turn off the router side? I had to do a reset on the modem/router to get it back up and running I would really like to make use of the apple hardware because I think it will give me better coverage throughout the house.Īny thoughts on this or does Netgear not play well with Apple? I've already posted this problem on the Netgear forum and all they can tell me is to post on the Apple community, because i'm sure its Apples fault not there's. My MacPro wouldn't even get a connection through the ethernet cable, I had the message, within the Network window, "Status: Connected Ethernet 1 has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet". I first tried turn off the SSID broadcast first, but the wifi lights were still on, then I tried actually turning off the Router within the Netgear Genie, that caused even more problems. "just " shutting off the router side of my modem/router (Netgear Nighthawk C7000v2) isn't as easy as I thought. So, the extenders get a full speed signal to extend. That's why you would always want to wire the extender(s) back to the main AirPort whenever possible.because there is zero loss of speed through the Ethernet cable. Remember in an "extended" network when the remote AirPorts connect using only wireless, that you will lose at least half of the potential speed on the entire network. It won't hurt to do this if you want and it is convenient, but it won't really help either. No, if you will be connecting the computer to one of the extending AirPorts. Yes, if the computer is hardwired back to the "main" AirPort and not one of the extending AirPorts. Would I get decent speeds if I were to hardwire a computer on another floor to one of the Airports, better than using WiFi? Yes, but it won't be a "mesh" network though since Apple never offered products in that category. I would be shutting off the wireless in the Netgear and using the Airport as the primary router, than I could add more Airports to the network around the house to create a mesh?
