Bridge two routers in the same network

Hi,

in summary you really can't in the simple form. You could put the Asus router behind the XG or you could just connect your devices to the XG and put your modem in bridge mode, that would make networking simpler and easier to manage.

Hi Ian,

The modem also serves IP TV, so setting it to bridge mode would disable watching tv, and they actually disabled the mode option altogether in the modem admin. No way to set it to bridge mode. 

Anyway, thanks for your answer. Knowing something is not possible is just as valuable than learning how something works

Hi,

it is possible, but for a beginner it will cause a lot of pain. Also with the modem being locked will make configuring traffic more difficult.

I am seriously considering changing isp to a decent one with modem in bridge mode and higher speeds. But thanx for your answers
