Hello,

Sorry if this topic doesn't belong here but I have been looking for a way to do this since ages.

I have a R6400 (DD-WRT) which is connected to my ISP's modem and a R7000 (NetGear OS) on the second floor which is connected to my R6400.

Looks like below:
ISP Modem --> R6400 (PPPoE) --> R7000 (Static IP)



Now, for me, the perfect setting would be run the R7000 in Access Point mode so that all my computers are in one network. I would be able to access all the computers from anywhere.

But here's the catch, if use Access Point mode, I cannot assign different DNS servers to the computers on the second floor (R7000), which I really want.


Is there a way to manually use Access Point mode to access computers on both the floors from anywhere?

OR

Is there a way to enable DHCP server in Access Point mode?


Because if I use a static IP on the R7000, I can access computers on the R6400 but not vice versa.


Requesting help, thank you.
