Dear @rp201rp,

first of all thanks for your reply.  
I’ve been working a bit on your notes and have to say that I’e implemented the port-forwarding as you suggested. Unfortunately I’m still not getting what would like to achieved.

My **main goal** is to access via WiFi the configuration page of my GL-AR750 (to then activate the ExpressVPN), being still connected to my Fritzbox network.

As said in my initial post, I’ve been following [this video-guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5QJb3O19zI) in order to link the 2 routers.  
I then assigned the following IP addresses and IP pools as in picture below.  
But I soon realized that if I use the WAN port as LAN to connect the AR750 to the FritzBox, I cannot use the OpenVPN function.  
On the other hand, if I use the WAN port, I cannot access the AR750 anymore since it’s receiving one address (192.168.188.21) from the FritzBox which is different from the one I’ve assigned to access it (192.168.188.2).

Feels a bit like in a maze 🙂 Any recommendation on what I’m doing wrong ?

Thanks a lot for your support !
