Hi guys.
Need some help as this is driving me mad. Want to use my N66U as a modem and my ac 5300 as the router but can't get the 5300 ac to connect to the N66U's internet connection.

When I setup the N66U separately its internet works fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know dchp should be disabled, its enabled on the n66u atm cause of me being unable to get the 5300ac and n66u to work together.

These are the images from the 5300ac:

What I have noticed is I can dial a connection from the n66u even when I disabled dhcp but I can't dial a connection from the 5300ac. So I am thinking I am doing something wrong when it comes to the 5300ac but I am not seeing what.

Solved it. Issue turns out was that I had the cable in wan to wan, apparently had to be in the lan port of the n66u.
