Alien WiFi Router + USG
-
I have a 2X Alien WiFi Router setup in Mesh configuration (wired backbone), sitting downstream of my ISP Modem. I would like to install a USG Gateway to manage my internal secure LAN and IOT LAN's, which are mixed of wired and WiFi devices, downstream of Alien WiFi.
When I install my USG, this creates a Double NAT configuration, and I can't see any devices in my internal LAN.
I suppose this makes sense, since the Double NAT wouldn't expose those devices.
How can I use my USG to manage devices on my Alien WiFi Mesh wireless network?
Thanks.

Hi @granitechief - have tried placing the main Alien router in Bridge mode to eliminate the Double NAT?

@Derek-Saville Does Bridge mode work with Mesh configuration?

Hi @granitechief - yes
You will lose the features of the Alien that require it to be the DHCP server...see this article:
