TPG Modem with Nighthawk R800

Hi

 

I have the AC1600 which has terrible parental controls so I want to connect my Nighthawk R8000 (NETGEAR) as a router maintaining the VOIP function.  I have read this can be problematic so...

I wonder if I turn off the wifi for AC1600 and connect the Nighthawk to a LAN? port will I have issues?

Hi @aussiebec ,

 

Welcome to the community!

 

You can use it as a router extension so you can still use the VoIP on our supplied modem.

Here is a thread that you may find helpful.

 

TP-Link VR1600v DHCP Fails 

 

Let me know how it will go and should you require further assistance.

 

Cheers!
