I have an Asus RT-AC88U wireless router with stock firmware. It is configured as I'd like for all my devices. I've recently moved, temporarily staying with a friend. I'd like to be able to "recreate" my network as a separate (sub?) network "hanging" off her current network (T-Mobile home internet with a 5G gateway/router). I'm in the basement with wired devices connected to my router, and cannot run cable from her router to mine so that will need to be wireless.
It seems that I should (could?) be able to set my router to bridge mode, connect it to the T-Mobile gateway wirelessly (it is already on a different network (192.18.1.x vs 192.18.2.x) and preserve DHCP, NAT, static IP assignments, etc. I realize that without a routing table (not sure if the T-Mobile gateway supports that or not) I'll not be able to access my .2 network from her .1 network but that's OK. I do want internet access through her gateway/ISP while maintaining access to all my intra-net devices on my subnet.
Is this possible, and if so how? Thank you.
