R6400v2 bridge or access point or vlan
I have a peculiar installation question. In our RV we have a wi-fi gateway for controlling the slides, lights, etc. This unit is seperate from any internet connection. I would like to be able to only have to connect once and not have to switch back and forth from the controller wifi to the wifi in the campground. The unit in the RV also has a static IP of 192.168.1.1 (can't be changed) and needs to see the router at 192.168.1.2. I have setup my AC1750 R6400v2 to be able to do that. My question is how can I connect to the campground wifi signal through the R6400v2 at the same time?
Would this be setup as an access point, bridge, or vlan? Or some other way with other hardware?

how, or how it's used. Maker? Model number? Any useful information at

But the R6400v2 has some kind of Internet connection? Any clues on
that?> [...] The unit in the RV also has a static IP of 192.168.1.1 (can't be

device whose IP parameters "can't be changed".> [...] I have setup my AC1750 R6400v2 to be able to do that. [...]
How, exactly?

it connects to anything, to make a guess.
