Hello. Your ZyXEL NXC2500 Wireless lan controller is linked to two separate computers via a local connection. You've set up two different VLANs, as shown in the image. Your goal is to connect the controller to your network so both computers can access the internet. Someone can help you figure out the best way to do this. Thanks!

Your Imgur link isn't functioning properly. What makes these two devices different? I’m new to this setup but an informed assumption is you should set up a trunk port that connects to your router. Once configured, your router will require specific ports with sub-interfaces for each VLAN, each using its own subnet. Then these networks might need added to the routing table so they can reach the internet on your own.

The image should help clarify the issue. I understand your concern about why these two devices need to be kept separate.

They separate devices by assigning them to different networks, preventing communication between them. This also minimizes broadcast areas, which is another benefit but I won't go into details. From the image, it seems this device functions as a router and DHCP server. You'd need to set one port as the WAN interface and configure it. Then you might need to establish routes so it knows how to forward internet traffic correctly.
