Are you sure that your first image is correct ? I have FINALLY after a month  fixed the problem ! I had internet all the time on my bridged router but for some strange reason the bridged router says "No Internet"  and "Please check if your phone cable is connected". I think that the misleading message is because the bridged router isnt providing the DSL service but the main router is. Devices connected to the bridged router work fine !! I am puzzled by your first image though - it displays an internet connection - mine has a RED X against internet - and at the bottom displays a connection type of bridge. Why are they (your image and mine) different ?   ... View more

I couldnt see any alternative so deleted the existing entry, then added the "Bridge" entry no problem - exactly as per your diagram. 2) I want to connect the secondary router to the main router via ethernet cable. I have selected one of the four Lan Ports on my main DHCP Router - and plugged in the other end to one of the four yellow LAN ports on the AC 1600 . I Wi FI connect to the secondary router but it says "No internet" . FYI I also tried plugging in the ethernet cable to the blue WAN port on the secondary router (AC1600) but no difference. Any thoughts ? ... View more
