Run another cat5 from Zyxel to lan?
Give Zyxel a 192.168.1.* address?

[SqueasyCheesyPeaz]

I changed the Archer IP address to something different and I still can't connect to the ZyXel. 

It's not a biggie, I just thought I'd switch the wifi broadcast off so devices don't try to connect to it. I'm sure I could connect it by wire to a laptop, but I can't be bothered right now. I'm just glad I got bridge mode working with the Archer.

Currently I'm on ADSL. If I wanted to switch to VDSL, would I need to make changes to any of the settings in either the ZyXEL or the Archer?

What address did you change the Archer to?

I then bought a TP-Link Archer 900, to use as a wifi access point only and have the Zyxel running in bridge-mode as a modem. However I can't for the life of me make this work. I need help!

If that is the Archer VR900, why don't you just use the modem that it has to make the DSL connection?

As I learnt on here, if I need to mess around with the router I don't need to interrupt the DSL connection.

Also the VMG1312 seems to be a popular choice for modem stability, but not so great for routing/wifi.

Has http://www.kitz.co.uk/routers/zyxel_VMG8324-B10A_bridge.htm been mentioned in this thread? Well worth reading.

192.168.1.48

my suggestion was to change the address of the Zyxel not the archer
