Bill: Thanks a ton. I did not change anything about the IPs yet or turn off DHCP but it seems to be working. If I run into issues I'll know where to look though. I really appreciate your help. :)

Ok I get it except for what AP means. Access Point?

I thought I was interpreting your lingo correctly but maybe not. I think you're saying I need to set the linksys to assign a different DHCP range? Edit: Yes, the Linksys is connected via a LAN port to the Netgear Modem/Router.

Well this is frustrating. Now when I connect to the Mesh network it takes me to the Netgear router login page. What is going on here?

Thanks folks. Got the NetGear back into router mode and that seems to be helping (time will tell). I don't quite understand that honestly. Was the velop omehow struggling with DNS maybe? I don't know enough to discern that (maybe I had to point the velop to a specific one?) I like this coax...

Not feasible to run cable. I have a stupidly large house (which was the reason for the upgrade - the netgear struggled to get around the whole place). I had a cheap-o repeater that kind of helped but not enough. Acronym overload - what is MoCA?

Yes. It, of course, tells me everything is hunky-dory. These "ultra easy" setups miss a lot of nuance. It's annoying.

Ok that was a lot to absorb. Let me try to break this down. The main TV in the house is wired directly into the Velop main node. It seems to not have any issues. (This is curious now that I think about it, since that would seem to imply a wireless issue, which is the whole reason I bought...

Hello everybody. Thanks in advance for any advice. I recently upgraded to a LinkSys Velop Wifi6 system (AX4200) to cover my house better. At the same time, I changed my Netgear Cable Modem/Router (C6250) to bridging mode, thinking that it did not make sense to have both the modem and the...
