Need help getting correct configuration for the following situation..

I use a Linksys WRT 1900ACS in our camper as a means to connect to the RV Parks Internet via Wifi. My router is set up as DHCP on my side and uses xxx.xxx.1.x. My PCs are connected to it by ethernet and my wireless devices connect to my router. I have a CPE710 on the WAN port of my router. It is connected in client mode to the rv parks WiFi. My router WAN is set for Automatic DHCP. The park is xxx.xxx.0.x and it is successfully assigning a WAN IP to my router.

I have working internet but was looking through the settings and found this under Advanced Routing.. "If the router is hosting your Internet connection, select Gateway mode. If another router exists on your network, select Router mode."

It is working in Gateway Mode, but based off that note, I put it in router mode. When I do this my router and computer still show internet is available. I can connect to all devices on the parks network like the APs and the modem, but I cannot browse the internet.

So did I misinterpret that note? Should I leave it in Gateway? If it needs to be in router mode, then what setting am I missing that would correct the loss of internet access?

Those will tell you to always state router model and build number and also that you are posting in the wrong forum.

will transfer this thread to the appropriate forum Smile

Oh and just leave it in Gateway mode
