This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
My Archer is older with NO WDS, etc. Have C3200 with wired connection to provider's router/modem.
When it is wired to laptop, I can login to it. Shows IP as 192.168.1.254 Setup all wireless.
Reconnected to main router, was able to connect to the C3200 via wifi, but shows no internet yet.
Still unable to login to the C3200 wireless menu when on its wifi AND using that IP
Anyone?

That was it ! am actually sending THIS reply using the C3200.
I didn't realize there was any difference at all in the LAN ports.
NOW ..... one last issue: One of the prime reasons for setting this up is to use the C3200 for my IP cameras. Gets the wifi traffic off the main and easy to add an external drive for recording. I anticipate that this will require the cameras to be reconfigured on the C3200 wifi service. Additionally, I will still want to remote access the cameras and recordings via mobile phone. This should work.
I very sincerely appreciate your time and patience with this.

That's a good news. So, now you can configure C3200 as you want and it should behave as expected.
You can even configure the C3200 as you wanted initially:
WAN IP address:192.168.1.254 (Static IP)
Mask:255.255.255.0
Default Gateway:192.168.1.1
Primary DNS:192.168.1.1
Secondary DNS:1.1.1.1
That's just if you insist to have a Static IP address on the C3200 WAN port. If you're OK with the current settings just leave it as it is.
Now for the cameras - yes, you should reconfigure their wireless settings to move them over to the C3200 and offload HG6245D.
If you happen to have any issues with remote accessing your cameras (caused by the double NAT - C3200 is working as a second router), just follow the guide in my first post and you'll avoid that too - there would be no need of any port-forwarding if C3200 is in Access Point mode.
Enjoy.
