    Quoted from Frogman:

    The Linksys EA600 needs to be put into bridge mode. If the router has that specific setting, it should work. If that setting isn't shown, you should turn of DHCP. The EA600 is going to try and assign IP addresses, which will conflict with the other router. There are other reasons why your existing hardware isn't optimal.

    This is 100% correct. Currently you have two DHCP servers on your network which will cause problems. Either the EA6000 needs to go or be put in bridge mode.

    You setup will work but the AppleTV is behind a double NAT right now and is going to have issues communicating with other devices on your network. Chances are they are on the same addressable range so inevitably you’re going to run into an IP address conflict.

    Easiest solution is to pick up a cheap switch and swap out the EA6000. Something like this would work just fine.

    Single cable from modem to Internet port on router, single cable from router to switch and all wired devices plugged into the switch.

    Quoted from GPS:

    I understand somewhat the double NAT issue and know that is an issue, just not sure how to change it. Dont know if I can get into the unit (EA6100) the way the network is currently configured or if I have to change things up to modify the settings in the EA6100

    You either need the EA6100 on bridge mode (DHCP Off & a static IP for the device) or you need to swap it out with a switch. Any reason you want to keep the EA6100 and not replace it with a switch?

    Using a router as a switch isn’t the best idea.
