I have a Zyxel C3000Z DSL modem/router from CenturyLink. I have, and prefer, my ASUS RT-AC88U router - so I've disabled the router in the modem by putting it into transparent bridge mode. Everything works well, except I cannot access the modem GUI from my LAN. I've seen several posts on how to do this, the two closest to helping included one referencing some setting supported in Tomato specifically for this case, and another requiring creating an additional address on the ASUS WAN interface, in the same network as the modem GUI interface (192.168.0.1) - but I don't think this is supported on the ASUS router.
I've also seen some suggestions that another ethernet cable be connected between ASUS LAN and Zyxel LAN, but this consumes an extra LAN port on the router, and (I read) results in errors/warnings being logged every few seconds.
Is there a way to accomplish this? The purpose is to be able to access the modem GUI for status or to reboot if needed, from any machine on the LAN (with proper authentication for the modem GUI).
