I got a new EE package so I got the new smart router, I want to use the old smart hub router I have and bridge it with the new smart router,

 

Ive tried plugging an ethernet from the Lan of the smart router (main router) into the old smart hub (wan port) but no connection , ive turned off DHCP on the old smart hub and make the IP address different

 

the main router has ip of 192.168.1.1 and the old router I changed to 192.168.1.2

When I tried it with Smart Hubs I couldn't manage it altho' I always succeeded with Brightboxes. The subsidiary SH wouldn't stop flashing its light. Did you turn ON the WAN Port setting?

I plug in an ethernet from Lan on main router to wan on the old router correct?

 

I have checked there is no option to turn on wan but when I go onto advanced settings then broadband, (on the old router), it says wan is on

 

 

The old smart hub just has the red light and says not connected on broadband
