Not sure this is the best way to do it.
Instructions by chadster766 worked for me, except that I first had to change the IP Address of the WRT1900AC (router being used as an access point), then login back in to the WRT1900AC using the new IP Address. Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type.
I have mine set up in wireless bridge mode currently and is working well on AC mode with my main host router. But I figured that since my main router has the.
Yes of course. GW: 192.168.1.1. Unplug the cable from your computer and connect it to one of the Ethernet ports on the main router while the other end is still connected to the ethernet port of the Linksys router.
I was told by Linksys support to place it in bridge mode, but I'm trying to figure out if that will cause the WAP to connect to the router wirelessly instead of obtaining connectivity through the ethernet. It will act like an access point. I think I need to send this thing back! I don't recommend cascading in a WRT1900AC with Linksys firmware in a LAN to LAN configuration.

Change the 1900AC IP address to 192.168.1.50, http://www.northshore-it.com/tips/how-tos/cascade_linksys/#LAN_to_LAN, 11-25-2014 gain access to the 1900AC so I can get access to it fine. I.E. Note that FTP server doesn't work on AP mode and speed test app and network map are limited. I would like for it to go laptop to WAP wirelessly then WAP to router via ethernet. I wanted to limit the guest network to 2.4 GHz only. I set up the separate router with its own DHCP server with a subnet of 10.0.2.x. I'm trying to set up a WRT1900AC as a WAP. If I am understanding correctly, first is your Technicolor modem/router dual band? But is it possible to get the main router to manage the wireless on the wrt1900acs? Say your Technicolor, on 2.4 Ghz is on channel 1 you would set the WRT1900AC to either 6 or 11, for 5 Ghz the Technicolor is on channel 36 you would want to set the WRT1900AC to a higher channel. Had to do a hard reset. 2.4 and 5 Ghz? I have tried "Bridge"-mode but then I get a different SSID than the main router.
08:08 PM. 2. I wanted an AC access point - I figured like most wireless routers I could disable the router and run it as an access point. 12:51 PM. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.2. (If you have a smartphone download a wifi analyzer, or if you have a PC try Acrylic WiFi to see what channels are in use).
I wanted an AC access point - I figured like most wireless routers I could disable the router and run it as an access point. I want to use the 1900AC as a wireless accesspoint and also anything I might connect to it wired.
