Airmaster 4000D with Asus Router

I Received my Airmaster 4000d and it works well hard wired into my laptop. What I can't figure out is how to get this working with my current home wifi. I'm using an Asus 1900ac router that does not see the airmaster plugged into the wan port (shows disconnected). I have tried both bridge modes on the airmaster, I figured that this would work like a bridged modem but it doesn't. What is the best way to get this to work? I'd like to use the airmaster with no routing and pass the signal on to the Asus router to provide the routing if possible. Please help, I've recently moved to a location and this is the only source of internet, kids in online school due to covid and I'm very tired...

Try changing the ip address of the airmaster t 192.168.2.1
Then change the ip address of the WAN port on your router to 192.168.2.200 or something else in the same range, that isnt 192.168.2.1.
This assumes your Asus IP isnt in the 192.168.2.x range

Thanks for the reply!
Same issue. I've tried similar a few times. One thing I am noticing is that I can login to the global web admin page via either 10.1.1.1 or 192.168.2.1. The 10.1.1.1 series should be when the router is set to one of the bridge functions, but it continues to work if set to router/nat.
Any other ideas?

Does the Asus connect to it when it's in router mode? If not, then maybe the Wan port on the Asus is bad? Lan1 can be used in that case, just turn the dual-wan failover on with Lan1 as primary.
If it does work in router mode, and it just isn't passing the dhcp when in bridge mode, Idk enough about the airmaster interface to have any suggestions. If you don't have a public-facing IP anyway (most cellular connections don't), then you'll be behind double-nat regardless, so leaving it in router mode and just turning off the firewall or setting it to DMZ to the Asus IP might work out just as well as a bridge.

OK this will be the 4th time Ive responded to this, hopefully this one makes it and is published. Much more abbreviated than the others.
What do L2 Bridge and L3 bridge do on air master? What is like bridge mode in cable modem? Anyway to do this? Don't care about router function on air master.
Ended up using a new Asus router out of the box it works fine. Trying to get Plex and Sonos to work now without network errors.
Thanks (Hopefully)!
