Bridge two routers in the same network

staxxnl

I am quite new to networking and learning new concepts and things every day, but I have no idea how to accomplish the following:

I have a modem from my ISP (ZYXEL VMG8825-T50), which connects to my old router (an Asus RT-3200), and now I also connected my new Sophos SG330 with Sophos XG to that modem.

When I am connected to the Asus router, I cannot access any devices in the Sophos router's network, and vice versa. How can I accomplish the described situation?

    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
