Thanks blackhat88. If I get it sorted, I'll post the solution. ... View more

Thanks blackhat88. I'll give it a go. Having a quick read of both links, they look like they are for setting up the ASUS as primary devices and not as an AP behind another router. My initial attempt is to try and keep the Archer as the primary to keep the VOIP service. Otherwise, I'll attempt to change the vlan id to 2 as specified in the first link.   ... View more

Hi blackhat88 I have attempted to set the settings as described by you but am unsure if I have all of the combinations required. I have attached screenshots of the LAN and WAN configuration pages with the relevant tabs to hopefully explain my set up better. If someone has successfully configured their DSL-AC68U as an AP behind an Archer AR1600v, can they please advise all the setting paramters so I can replicate it?         ... View more

Thank you blackhat88. I am progressing. I have changed the IP address of the Asus to 192.168.2.1. Rebooted the Asus and it now gets an IP address from the Archer.   Looking at the internet status on the Asus it now displays: Internet status: Connected WAN IP: 192.168.1.105   However, when I am connect to the Asus via wifi, I can not get a connection to the internet. Using the Asus diagnotic tools I can ping the preset targets such as google, youtube, ebay etc. I have set my IP address on my laptop as 192.168.2.2 to connect to the asus wifi. Using this I can ping 192.168.2.1 (Asus) but I can't ping 192.168.1.1 (Archer). Using a different laptop connected to the Archer (192.168.1.112 via DHCP) I can ping 192.168.1.1 but not 192.168.2.1.   Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong with the routing? ... View more

Thanks david64. I have reserved the IP address as suggested and rebooted both devices. It now looks like it is trying to offer the correct IP address: 2020-04-25 17:57:58 [5] System: LAN1 link up 1000 mbps 2020-04-25 17:59:30 [5] System: LAN1 link down 2020-04-25 17:59:34 [5] System: LAN1 link up 1000 mbps 2020-04-25 18:00:16 [5] DHCPD: Recv DISCOVER from 98:22:EF:D9:03:2B 2020-04-25 18:00:17 [5] DHCPD: Send OFFER with ip 192.168.1.5 2020-04-25 18:00:17 [5] DHCPD: Recv REQUEST from 98:22:EF:D9:03:2B 2020-04-25 18:00:17 [5] DHCPD: Send ACK to 192.168.1.5 2020-04-25 18:00:23 [5] DHCPD: Recv REQUEST from 98:22:EF:D9:03:2B 2020-04-25 18:00:23 [5] DHCPD: Send ACK to 192.168.1.5   Unfortunately the Asus is still reporting an IP conflict. The last log entry in the Asus is: WAN_Connection: The LAN's subnet may be the same with the WAN's subnet. ... View more

Thanks for responding david64. The current DHCP pool is still the default 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.199 and I've set the ASUS DSL-AC68U to 192.168.1.5 just to keep it out of the range.   I had a look at the Archer log and I've found the MAC address of the Asus is being offered an IP address of 192.168.1.103. 2020-04-25 10:44:13 [5] DHCPD: Recv DISCOVER from 98:22:EF:D9:03:2B 2020-04-25 10:44:13 [5] DHCPD: Send OFFER with ip 192.168.1.103 2020-04-25 10:44:13 [5] DHCPD: Recv REQUEST from 98:22:EF:D9:03:2B 2020-04-25 10:44:14 [5] DHCPD: Send ACK to 192.168.1.103 I don't know how to get the Archer to accept the Asus with the static IP address of 192.168.1.5 that I have set on the Asus. ...
