If you had any problems, you would have to the modem to Gateway mode for troubleshooting purposes with Rogers techs. That configuration is not supported by Rogers but it does work.
Secondly, if I do disable to access point am I able to tell certain devices to connect only to the 5GHz band of the Rogers router/pods since there seems to only be a single SSID as both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands were set up by the tech with the same has been pointed out in other posts, the Ignite TV will work with the modem in Bridge mode and a router setup after the modem. If not I will likely just power down or factory reset the Archer C9
I guess my question is do I really need a router there anymore (Archer C9) or would a switch be better? Note that the access point is in my office so I do have my PC/printer and another couple devices plugged in there. The issue I'm having is that the access point is still active and broadcasting 2 SSIDs (2.4/5GHz) and I cannot log into the router since it had a static IP and the local network changed from 198. I used to have to run the Rogers modem in bridge mode up to an access point on the main floor but with the pods it seems to be unnecessary now. I got Ignite installed a week or two ago and have been really impressed with it. I think holding the reset for 10s then releasing is a reset but holding the bugger down until the modem cries uncle is a full factory reset and that fixed my issue :+1:ĮDIT: Not sure why my post was moved to this thread, I can log in to the XB6 just fine. I followed the steps (setting my wifi ssid and pass phrase) then after it switched over to my named ssid when I reconnected I got the standard admin portal and this time the default credentials worked as advertised (admin:password) :woohoo: After that when i re-connected to the default wifi and opened I was now treated to a first time setup screen instead of a login screen. This time I just kept holding it down I did not release the reset button until I saw the LED on the modem turn orange.
I saw the modem reset and sure enough my wifi settings were reset however still no luck on the password. SOLVED: So for my case where the web portal always reported incorrect password for admin! even after I did a reset (pushed reset button for 10s) I was able to solve it by actually holding down for 10s
