Hello, After linking the second router I’m having trouble connecting to the main router’s control panel whenever anything is connected to it, and the same goes when the other way around. Here’s how it was set up: Main router IP 192.168.2.254, subnet 255.255.255.0, second router got a static IP at 192.168.2.250, the second router is in Access Point mode with firewall and NAT disabled, and its default gateway is 192.168.2.254. The main router has a cable from port 4 to WAN on router 2. Is there something I’m overlooking?

Connect it to the LAN network. By default, most routers block WAN traffic to LAN. To switch the WAN port to LAN mode, you need to join it with the same VLAN as your LAN devices. I’m not sure if the router’s firmware supports this change.

Disable Router 2's DHCP server to convert it into a switch with an integrated access point.
