Good evening all,

I currently have a VM sh3 as the main router/modem connected to the outside world, I have purchased the archer c6 router which i have managed to set up as the following;

connected via cable to VM sh3 lan port 1 from the WAN port of the C6

Changed the IP address of the C6 to 192.168.2.11 and can log in to the C6 settings page using this address

have connected my devices eg pc  to c6 via cable to lan ports and also wifi connections eg phone smart devices etc to 2.4 ghz all connect fine

can log into vm sh3 settings page via 192.168.0.1 i have other housemates who use this hub for wired and wifi connections so i cant interfere with their connections atm

my problem lies with I set the c6 to its own ip address and changed the c6 to access point only and disabled dhcp on the c6 saved settings etc but now when i go back into the c6 it has changed back to router mode

how do i set my c6 as its own seperate sub network off the VM SH3

do i need to assign the 192.168.2.11 as a static reserved address on the sh3 if so how ??

any help will be greatly appreciated
