Hi everyone,
I would like to know how the ATA 192 is supposed to be configured to achieve the goal as follows:
- use it as the first device attached to ISP endpoint (ahead of my main LAN Asus one): is the bridge mode the correct one? As far I am concerned, the ISP configuration as PPPoE must be used for this purpose to get connected over the Internet, mustn't be?
- the Asus router is plugged in on the LAN port: does it need to be on the same LAN subnet only? Or is there a different set-up?
- the LAN set-up on the ATA has to bridge the ISP internet traffic as it is to the Asus router: which is the most secure way to do that? 1. static IP of the router on the LAN of the ATA 2. DMZ -> IP of the router 3. WAN set-up redirecting the traffic over the port 80 only?
Could you please even share a schema of how the network should look like?
Best Regards

There's no "best answer" to your question. It depends on your requirements, services and protocols you are using, features offered/supported by your ISP and features supported by ASUS router and IPv4/IPv6 addressing scheme you are using. So many unknown conditions.
As just generic blind shot - connect WAN port of ATA192 to your LAN (e.g. behind ASUS router you already have). Don't use ATA192 as router, just as ATA.
But better advice is - ask your local network administrator for help. Or someone who understand how the things works. Such expert will be able to consider your local conditions and will advice you something that will fit your requirements.
