Hi again.

Right, having spent far too much time messing about with this and scouring the web I've now got it working.

Setup: Asus RT-AC68U on 192.168.1.1 & TP-Link W9970 on 192.168.2.1.

I've entered using telnet:

ifconfig `nvram get wan0_ifname`:0 192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

Note : the IP number shown in bold must be one more than your modem's IP. If your modem's ip is 192.168.2.1 then it must be written as 192.168.2.2.

&

iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o `nvram get wan0_ifname` -j MASQUERADE

and I can now access the W9970 from any machine on my network.

I'd like to say I'd worked this out myself  but credit must go to people on Kitz and SNBforums among others.

I've also decided to try Asuswert-Merlin so that I can add scripts to configure at startup, although, as you've already mentioned, once running my router stays up for months .

Good to know Andy. My firmware on my DSL-N55U has only just been released so maybe has a few different options. I don't need the IP tables command just the ifconfig and I made the IP one below the TP-Link so 192.168.2.9 and the modem is at 192.168.2.10 but the primary address is 192.168.1.250 and have written a script to make the WAN interface at 192.168.1.249 so I can access on the other IP.

Just to update this thread with a new method. Someone posted that you can turn off auto WAN Ip and put the modem IP address in the manual settings as long as the modem is set at 192.168.2.10. See attached pic.
