Basic Home Network Setup

Hi...
I have at home an Orbi Network that is uses IP addresses in 10.0.0.1 / 255.255.255.0. Standard thing I believe. This is my main network.
I've recently bought a Beryl AX so I can use in in my traveling and at home to connect my PC to my Quest 3.

My Beryl network is set at 10.0.1.1 / 255.255.255.0.
My problem is that I need to access some resources from the main network, like my NAS or my printers that are in the main network. I've read a bunch of stuff that I should be using the Beryl AX as AP and not a router, but I've tried and it just sucks and removes all the functionality I use from it (VPN when needed in my main PC and the need to reconfigure everything whenever I travel mainly).

Isn't there a simple setting , setup, that would allow me to make this 2 networks to just communicate with each other and allow me to use their resources? Cause using the Beryl as AP makes it unnecessary at home and it would just be standing there waiting for travelling...

thanks

If the Beryl AX is AP, it has no routing, the VPN, ADG, etc. will not be available (since it relies on routing mode).

Being an AP at home (to allow the 2 networks to communicate with each other) and being a router when traveling are conflicting scenarios and there is no way to simply (quickly) configure them.

For home use, if only need to access NAS, printers, etc on the main network from the Beryl side, you can also use router mode.
When you enable the VPN client, please enable the Allow Access WAN, which allows Beryl to realize that it can access the resources of the primary network, and can also use the VPN service.
