I was given a VDSL gateway (ZyXel) by my ISP (online.nl) whose performance is low, and therefore I bought a router (ASUS RT-AC66U) to improve the LAN/WLAN/home networking performance.
Therefore I want to have something similar to this:
I want my NAS to be connected to the Internet and therefore only one routing with NAT is enough and thus I bridged mode the gateway. I know how to bridge mode the gateway, but every time I do it, I lose internet connection.
Do I need to do something special in the router when I setup the gateway to bridge mode? Which exact WAN configurations?
Can the router work directly as a VDSL gateway, removing then the gateway provided by the ISP?
The text-labels in the image do not match the question text. What is the P-2601HN-F1? RT-AC66U or N66U? If N66U, why do you need the other modem? – harrymc – 2019-08-15T13:03:02.513
@harrymc yes, the image is merely an example. Do you mean why do I need the router? To improve Wi-fi and CPU performance. The gateway given by the ISP is really poor. – João Pimentel Ferreira – 2019-08-15T13:06:37.417
The AC66U does not support VDSL, so you can't get rid of the modem. Where here is the DHCP master? I also don't understand your first question. – harrymc – 2019-08-15T13:17:30.283
@harrymc what do you mean by DHCP master? The question is: if the gateway is in bridge mode, what WAN settings shall I put in the router? – João Pimentel Ferreira – 2019-08-15T17:03:40.297
I mean which box is master and which only a repeater. – harrymc – 2019-08-15T17:04:34.420
@harrymc I have no repeaters. I have a ZyXel VDSL gateway that connects to the Internet, and whose port LAN1 then connects to the WAN port of the ASUS router. – João Pimentel Ferreira – 2019-08-15T17:06:33.497
