Hi @mooneydan1,

We have likewise replied to your post here: https://community.tpg.com.au/t5/Modems-and-Devices/archer-vr1600-set-up-as-a-bridge-to-my-other-repe...

Thanks!

I followed the prompts but VLAN Id would not accept 2 - said that i was already taken.

What do you suggest?

Hi @mooneydan1,

We had encountered the same issue before, connecting 3rd party router using our supplied modem/router and it actually work by changing the router's connection mode to "DHCP mode"
 

You can visit this link for reference. Connect Asus RT-AC88U to Huawei HG659.

Let us know how it will go and should you require further assistancec.

Hi 

Thanks for the reference.

Do you have a reference for connecting the vr1600v to a netgear third party router?

Hi @mooneydan1

You may check the response from @JovermarL. (Check this link)

The VR1600v to Netgear router should work with the given instruction as well.
