Spencer Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Trying to figure out how to connect both routers together for optimal gaming experience.
PharmDawgg Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Recommended> Modem>Netduma>Nighthawk(Access Point). Sometimes optimal gaming is relative so try this first and if it is not satisfactory we can make changes.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 22, 2015 Administrators Posted October 22, 2015 Buck is right, that would be the optimal setup, remember to turn the wifi off on the duma as well if using nighthawk in AP mode
Spencer Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 Do I plug Netduma Lan to Nighthawk Lan or Lan to Wan? Are there any settings I need to change besides turning the Duma's wifi off?
PharmDawgg Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Yes. LAN to LAN. I don't have a Nighthawk but it worked with my Asus.

II Z IE IR O II Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 i too have owned a nighthawk and my setup was how Buck mentioned. Less you tinker with settings, you'll have less issues. Life is simple, only you as a person make it complicated. I must admit though, at one point I swapped it where my R1 was after my nighthawk because my internet connect is faster than what the R1 was capable of handling at one point. But being that I'm one of those Beta testers, I am able to switch it back to original configurations.
Spencer Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 So I need to change my modem settings?
Zennon Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 So I need to change my modem settings? No , just put the nighthawk into Access point mode and turn off the dumas wifi
Spencer Posted October 22, 2015 Author Posted October 22, 2015 I changed the nighthawk to AP mode and plugged it into the Duma and turned the wifi off on the Duma and was getting no wireless signal from the 2.4 or 5ghz bands
Zennon Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 No wireless from the nighthawk ? Have you set it to WPA2-PSK and gave it a password etc?
r8rs4lf Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Maybe reboot everything? Don't know if it makes a difference, but I unhooked/unplugged everything first. Took my PS3 and PS4 wired connections and moved them to the R1. Then modem/router>R1>Nighthawk Then I turned off the wifi on the R1, then put the Nighthawk into AP mode. Your wireless connection will still come from your Nighthawk. So whatever you named your wireless connection through your Nighthawk, make sure your using that. On a side note, when I turned off the wifi on the R1, it was still in my wireless list for some reason. I guess it needed to be refreshed to be removed. Also, I already had my NH up and running before I got the R1 so if your just adding the R1, you shouldn't have any problems.
