Connect mobile router mr 5200 to wifi mesh system by ethernet

I want to connect TP link DECO to the MR5200 mobile router. Installation is only possible by ethernet connection. I can make the connection to the MR 5200, chose for dynamic IP adres  but can't reach internet. The helpdesk says that it is only possible to connect a router to the MR5200 not a mesh system. The helpdesk advises to buy an extender to make a wifi connection. 

 

Has anybody a solution?

    I have the mr5200 connected to the WAN-port (actually the dual WAN port using eth4) on my Asus RT-AX92U. The mr5200 is set to provide DHCP using a different subnet than the primary network. Using this setting, you are not able to access the interface (or app) from the primary network. This is only possible when connecting directly to the mr5200 wifi.

     

    Does this help you?
