AX88U Router i.p. address problem

[clayhans]

I have an Asus RT AX88U Router with Merlin 384.16 firmware connected to my modem as my main router. I have another AX88U set up in another room as a Media Bridge. This router works fine in media bridge mode with four devices attached to it. The main Router AX88U connected to the modem shows the bridged devices as wired in. All that is fine and I can live with it. The problem I’m having is that I have an Asus AC86U router also set up in Media Bridge mode in a different room with two connected devices. The main AX88U does not see the AC86U router (no mac or i.p. address seen) yet the two devices connected to the AC86U show up as wired devices on my main AX88U router. I can’t seem to get into my AC86U UI through my browser because I have no ip for it. I’ve tried different i.p. address’s and even tried setting up the DHCP manually for the AC86U but that did not work. Can anyone help me get the AC86U router to show up in the UI of the main AX88U router?

Just a guess... From a PC connected by Ethernet to the RT-AC86U run the Device Discovery Utility. Maybe it's got a static IP address on a different subnet configured.

Never Mind but thanks for looking. After a little internet search I was reminded of Asus Device Discovery. I ran the utility and behold the AC86U was seen with mac and i.p. address.
