An R8000 would do that if it's configured as a router, and its
WAN/Internet port is connected to another router which is using
"192.168.1.*" for its LAN.> How do I configure it like you said?

Adding an address reservation or a port-forwarding rule should be
pretty safe. But, safe or not, the main router needs to do the port
forwarding.> Your friends use your (one, only) public IP address ("88.90.##.##")

And the server must be on the main-router LAN subnet. So, directly
connected to the main router, or else connected to the R8000 when the
R8000 is configured as a WAP.
By the way, here is the "telenor router" information

It won't work is the server is not on the LAN subnet of the main
router.

The change to WAP mode will stop that.

Too much work. I'd guess that Address Reservation would be under
"DHCP" or "LAN hosts". I'd look for port forwarding under "Port
forwarding".

So, the main router must do the port forwarding.
And the server must be on the main-router LAN subnet. So, directly
