I use the TP-link VR2800 as my main DSL router.as my broadband is intermittent, I have bought a Zyxel LTE7480 outdoor router/antenna and want to connect this to the TP-LINK.I want to keep the TP-Link as my main router and have therefor DHCP activated there and have switched it off on the Zyxel.I have given the xyzel a fixed IP of 192.168.1.10 and switched on ip-passthrough (seems to be the equivalent of bridge mode in order to avoid a double nat issue when it is on router mode?)Not sure what to do at the TP-Link sideno matter if i leave it in mode 1 (DSL router mode) or mode 2 Wifi router mode) or when I connect the zyxel to the WAN or LAN port on the TP-Link, i cannot get this to work.Would anyone be willing to give my advice to get this going?What I wnat is to be able to plug in my DSLwhen it works but have my zyxel as a back up. Even better would be if both could be connected and perhaps the DSL connection bound to a single lan port out. (as I have seperate guest accomodation which would then be served by that).I have now tried almost everything but have to stop fiddeling each time my guests are back or when my wife goes online for work...I did get the 4g router working through the tp-link a few times but for some odd reason not everything worked correctly over wifi (but ethernet connection -seemed to -orked ok)summary of setup:TP-link VR2800 in house connected to BT DSLa couple of RE650 around the house to extend (shame no mesh)Also a switch connected to ethernet sockets around the house.In the guest accomodation I have an Archer C58 with a guest Wifi ssid setup.with a LAN cable connecting the wto archers via LAN portsHope some one can help, after hours of youtube and google, I am at a loss.many thanks!Jaap
