Put the R6120 in access point mode. that'll have it on the same subnet so all the devices can see each other.

That worked ! Thank you very much.
However, now my router IP adress isn't displayed anymore in my modem's listed devices so I have to "guess" its adress to enter the setup page.
Also, One of my servers isn't listed either in my routers devices list. It has an IP, I can access it, but it is not displayed.
Would you know why this could happen ?

After changing the router over to ap mode, The devices connected to it might need to be rebooted to pull a new ip address that is in the same range as the primary router.
