Hi,
I'm trying to bridge my DSL modem to my main router with Asuswrt Merlin. I come from Tomato and everything worked fine but... with the new firmware I'm getting a lot of problems and I'm almost sure that is a cabling problem.
I have the modem/router with the RJ11 connector and 4 100Mb LAN ports.
I go from the modem/router to my main router through a Dlink switch with 8 LAN ports of 1Gb.
I connect my modem LAN port 1 with the LAN port 1 of my switch and from the LAN port 8 of my swith I go to the WAN port of my main router (30m far in other room).
With Tomato I putted an ethernet cable in the main router to the WAN port to the LAN port 2 in the same router and the cable comming from the swicth with the "WAN signal" connected to the LAN port 2 in the main router.
Is it correct??
I need to run up the PPPoE from the 2nd room but I have just one cable from the modem/router.
Here you can see the whole schema:
Edit adding more info:
- Just 0ne subnet 192.168.1.x
- No DMZ or firewall rules
- I need internet in all ports wired and wireless.
- The first white box is the DSL modem/router to be bridged
Thanks in advance
