Enabling Router Behind Router Alert

Display alert when another router is connected to this router

checkbox is enabled, an error page is

displayed to the user if the gateway detects the presence of a third-party router on the user’s network. A

third-party router connected to the 2Wire gateway can result in network instability, because both devices are

trying to manage private IPs via NAT.
