Hey all.
I've bridged (Moca) my Actiontec MI424WR version-I router in order to use my shiny new Asus RT AC-68U router. I've followed these instructions to a T:

I also have two Verizon STBs that need internet access of course for VOD and guide.
Everything is playing nicely until I plug in the double bridge (the piece of Ethernet cable from one of the Asus ports to port 4 of the Actiontec. (I've tried all ports on the Actiontec, by the way). Everything goes to hell at that point. All LAN clients lose connectivity and tray icons now show a yellow triangle with Limited access, including wireless clients. I have to remove that cable and powercycle both units to get internet back.
I don't have the option of running Ethernet from the ONT to the router, by the way.
Any suggestions?
Asus- 192.168.1.1, DHCP from Verizon for WAN address.
Actiontec- 192.168.2.1.
Do I need to create a VLAN? Routing table entry? Another bridge on the Actiontec? It seems that connecting that cable "bridges" two separate subnets which cant normally talk to each other (192.168.1.1 192.168.2.1) and and is throwing all of my clients in a loop.
Thanks,
Brad
