I'm using an Asus RT-AC3200 with Merlin 384.5_beta2 firmware.
My network consists of a ton of 192.168.1.x devices - some static, some dynamic.
I *really* don't want to change anything on that network as some of these devices are a real pain to change.

I have one specific device that I use on a separate network (a wireless audio mixer) that has a static IP of 192.168.2.125 -- I don't want to change it's IP or network settings if at all possible. It needs to stay on the 192.168.2.x network so that it can exist in it's native network without a bunch of changes on that end.

Is there a way that I can bring that device into my home network and my 192.168.1.x machines connect to it via some sort of static route entry in my router?
If so, what might that look like? I know nothing about static routes.
Under the routes tab, I see
Network/Host IP
Netmask
Gateway
Metric
Interface
 
If you have/want two separate networks, 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x, then you need a router between them. You can then setup the necessary static routes. So the question is, what is the device that is acting as a router between your two networks?
 
All of my home network devices are connected to the Asus RT-3200.
I just want to bring the 192.168.2.125 (static) device and connect it to my home network with a network cable.
Don't really want to connect two separate networks - just one 192.168.2.125 static device plugged into my 192.168.1.x network and have the 192.168.1.x devices be able to communicate with the 192.168.2.125 device.
 
I not sure if this is possible. You could try changing your router's LAN netmask to 255.255.252.0 so that it now covers the range 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.3.254. But be aware that using a different netmask is known to be incompatible with the router's Network Map display, so that won't work properly anymore.
