Use the Modem Router as a WiFi Access Point
You can set up the modem router to function as a WiFi access point (AP) on the same local 
network as another router. When the modem router functions as a WiFi AP, many 
router-related features are disabled.
Tip:
If you want to change the modem router’s function, use a wired connection 
to avoid being disconnected when the new function takes effect.
To set up the modem router as an AP:
1. 
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Internet port of the modem router to a LAN port on 
the other router.
Cable the red Internet port
to a LAN port on another router
2. 
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
3. 
Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
4. 
Enter the modem router user name and password.
