Hey Guys

I have a zyxel router through my IP that I want to keep as a Modem and then set my Netgear Router in the livingroom as an AP.

In the bedorom where my zyxel router is, I had a technician put up a network box in the wall that leads up and through the attic and then down to my office, where he placed another network box, where I from there have a network cable that go into my PC.

So from my zyxel router I have a cable that goes to the network box in the wall and
a networks cable that goes into the livingroom into my Netgear router.

My issue is, that the second I set my Zyxel router in bridge mode, it kills my connectivity in my office. I do however have connection to the router in the livingroom.

My connectivity in the office is lost, no matter if the network cable is in LAN port 1 or any other in the zyxel router.

I think I once read that when you put the zyxel router in bridge mode, that it closes the lan ports except for one, but I am unsure.

Is there somehow I can keep my zyxel as Routing instead of Bridge, and still be able to set my Netgear router as AP, somehow?

Kind Regards,

/D
