Extending my Gen5 wireless network with my Apple Airport extreme base station.
I just upgraded to Gen5. With the Gen4 I had it hooked up to my Apple Airport Extreme base stations. No problems. With the Gen5 I right away had a NAT conflict and couldn't use the Apple network. ...
jere Cox, follow guidance given here except uncheck the "SSID Enable" box for both 2.4 and 5 GHz radios.
So after some forum exploration, I think the issue lies in the fact that the Gen5 HT2000w is both a router and modem. With the Gen4 device it was only a router which I connected to my Apple Airport Extreme and on into the rest of my devices in my wifi network. I had no wireless problems what so ever. So I'm thinking that the HT2000w needs to "bridge" to the Airport Extreme which then would transmit the wifi signal to the entire network. Is it possible to set the HT2000w to Bridge Mode?
Right now the only way I can get internet service is to plug into the Ethernet and this is only for my laptop. This leaves out all of the rest of our devices which rely on a wifi connection. I just may have to go back to the Gen4.
How do I disable the wireless function on the HT2000w?

Thanks. I figured it out by going to the Admin page then going to Advanced Setup then to Wireless. There I can disable both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. So far it apears to have solved the connection problem.
