Please see the attached pic of Ethernet Splitter. One incoming connection which get splited into two.
I can disable DHCP on the eir router and give that job to my personal router. Then use only 1 port on the eir router and connect it to the personal wifi router. Would this would work?
Some Eir routers can be tricky, but basically connect the second router (the one you call "personal) via an ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports (usually 4 LAN ports the same) on the Eir router into the WAN port (usually only one WAN port on each router) on the personal router. Set up the VPN on the personal router correctly and bob's your proverbial. To help you find the information you need, can you post more details of the Eir and AX router models?
Just following up from your other thread as this is probably a better place to discuss your query ref. using the phone line and the modem in routing/bridge mode. I'll test what I can for you, two questions though -Many Thanks Hooverfish. The eir telephone is connected to the eir router. And if the eir router is in modem mode or Bridge mode, the telephone might not work. I tried to get info on this from eir pre-sales, but they told me to contact eir technical support. But when I call the number they provided it wont even connect to the eir tech support with out an eir account number or eir telephone number! So I have to find out some one with their eir router in modem mode to see if it works.
1. 10 euro per month Eir phone line allows you to make UNLIMITED calls to ALL land lines and ALL mobiles in ALL countries except Nigeria. So I think it is worth keeping.Do you really need the Eir phone line? I didn't bother connecting mine, the only thing fixed phones seem to be useful these days are receiving scam and sales calls?

WAN port (public IP address)
[Eir router]
LAN port (default private IP address like 192.168.1.254)
|

WAN port (IP address in same subnet as Eir LAN port, eg. 192.168.1.253. Default gateway set to 192.168.1.254)
[TestLink's personal router]
LAN port (private IP address in separate subnet to above, eg 192.168.0.254)

TestLink's internal network (devices should have 192.168.0.x IPs and default gateway 192.168.0.254)
The connections are right yep.Many Thanks Zenith63. Can you please confirm?
Connection:
Eir Fibre ONT -> WAN Port of Eir Router
LAN port of Eir Router -> WAN port of my personal Router
LAN port of my personal Router -> Devices in my house via Wireless or Wired connection.
Settings:
Put both devices on the same class C ip range
Put the default gateway of my personal router to one of the static ip on the Eir router.
Do I need to disable DHCP & Wireless on the Eir router?
