Hey everyone, I'm settling into a new home and running into some network hiccups. My place has fibre internet and a Huawei ONR, but I ended up using an ASUS RT-AC68U with an Samba share. Setting up Wi-Fi was straightforward, though there are a few issues popping up. Problem #1: The router won't let me run in bridge mode, so I'm stuck using AP mode on the AC68U and had to disable DHCP on my ASUS. Problem #2: My desktop can't connect properly because it's supposed to link to different LAN segments—LAN 1 for the ONR and LAN 2 for my PC. This means devices like my phone, laptop, and printer work fine, but my desktop isn't seeing them. I've got a screenshot of what I see when trying to connect to the ONR. Any ideas on how to fix this while still letting my desktop access everything?
