Easy-peasy…once you sort it all out, which took me a while to do.
Connect the original router to the new router by an Ethernet cable from a LAN port in the first router to a WAN port in the second then access the first one and turn off the WiFi.
The routing table is still done via the first router. ?

Re: System settings that aren’t in System Settings
Are Howard, Jim and Bob speaking of macOS? Does the latest call it System Settings instead of System Preferences??
I only have an old macOS and current iOS to look at.?
In iOS 16.6, all those are in Settings (System and 3rd party apps included). There all there with no demarkation other then how they are organized.?
Is Howard British? I just noticed his spelling of authorisation.?

Re: iOS Private address Query
I too established specific IP addresses for my computer, iPad, iPhone and ?watch. Never saw a need to use a private Wi-Fi address since they rarely leave the house, so am quite certain I never enabled it. One day my Fing box noticed a new iPhone on my network and found somehow private Wi-Fi address was enabled on my iPhone.

I meant to reply to this thread, Jeff, but forgot. ?
Like you I have Verizon FiOS and a router I purchased from Verizon.
The Verizon WiFi signal was quite week three floors down where we have our TV so I bought this router which got great reviews for the strength of it’s WiFi signal and was, at that time, top rated by the Wirecutter.com

Here was the way I set it up, as a Wireless Access Point [visuals are from the Synology router page]
Multiple Mac computers, iPhones, an iPad, and an Apple Watch all connect just fine on either the 2.4 or 5 network.

iOS Private address Query
I have assigned specific IP addresses for all my devices/computers via my router. I do not have "Private Wi-Fi Address"? enabled on iPhones or iPads.

My ISP is Compost, uh, I mean Comcast/Xfinity. And they insist that I use this huge Gateway box, since I am using Internet Essentials. I don’t pay a rental fee, and they imply that I have to use their device, and their current device authorization requires a QR code on the device.? I changed the name on the WiFi network it set up, then completely ignore it. I never connect to it. I then run an Ethernet cable to my Apple Airport, or any other router/WiFi device and use that Wifi network.?
In effect, all their provided 12” x 12” x 1.5” multi-purpose device does is the gateway function. It connects me to their service. I don’t use it as a WiFi device. I shut off the public Wifi function. I don’t use either the Ethernet or Wifi router function. I don’t use the VOIP function.?
I only use the gateway function and pass-thru to my router.?

If this setup would work at all, I think you would have to put the 2.4 router in bridge mode.
Are you renting the Verizon routers? If so, would it not be cheaper to own your own device?

so not exactly?Mac, but I'm having issues printing from my macs...?
Story:? Verizon has sent me 4 routers, and they all fail to keep a 2.4ghz band working. The 5ghz is consistent.? So, one solution is for me to simply add a 2.4ghz separate router.? The need is for my wifi printer and also a few IOT devices, including a wifi thermostat, which all use 2.4 and not 5.?
Ok, so I bought a small 2.4 only router. plugged it into?ethernet.? Attached devices, and they get internet and connect ok - EXCEPT that the printer, which?in the 2.4ghz router (NOT the guest network) is not visible to the rest of the network.? Am I misunderstanding how the router works? that the printer should?be visible to the whole network when it's connected through the regular 2.4 ghz band of a router?that is on my ethernet??
What does work, is if I make the mac mini connect to the 2.4 ghz wifi, then it also sees the printer, but only if they are on the exact same wifi band.? that is less than ideal for other reasons.?
thanks for any tips.?

Re: loading background pictures
That is normal. You really don't want "remote content" enabled in your e-mail client. It is only an issue with HTML in e-mail. The infamous web beacons are not possible in normal plain text mails.
