i have a netgear c3700 modem/router and i have a r6300 router. i can see both of them on my pc. i have the c3700 connected to the internet. i have the c3700 with the yellow wire going to the yellow port on the c6300 router. i have the c6300 router plugged into the network switch. the network switch is a 10/100 switch . when i do a speed test with the c3700 i got 50 mbps and when i do that with the r6300 now it goes to 89 or 73 depending on the ap doing the test. ip chicken tells me my address is the c3700 combo connected to the internet, so i guess that would be correct.
the issue i'm seeing is i have cameras running on a dvr and nvr i can see them on the recorders but i can't see them on my tablet or phone. i tired changing the ip address but it is not working and on the r6300 i do not see the tablets or camera attached to it and on the c3700 they were all on that and now that unit does not whos anything but my pc and my phone. i lose all the other attached devices on both units. anybody know how to get these back?
ok i then plugged the c3700 into the network switch and then my pc went to that router from being on the r6300 and my speed dropped back to 50 mbps from 95 mbps and the cameras came back. so can anyone tell me how in the world do i connect these two units together so the c3700 is only to get online and the r6300 is only used for a router? i have tried about all i know and i had an IT person try and they could not get it either. for a bit the r6300 was the unit i was using for getting online as my pc showed that for my internet connection. do i have to turn off the c3700 router mode and them plug the r6300 into the c3700? i see so much hubbub about having a router that is seperate from the modem and i can't get the thing to go. there has to be a way to do this. one time i turned off teh router mode on the c3700 and i lost all internet and had to reset to factory so i'm a bit hesitant to do that again.
