Bridging WWAN and WAN

Technical Support for Routers

Hi there,

So I'm using an AXT1800 in one of our machines installed in a client factory. I've made a diagram to explain the network I want to achieve.

The router supplies internet to the machine's LAN network, which is nothing new.
The tricky part is that the Ewon VPN device needs to have both a wired internet connection and a LAN connection with the machine network. These need to be separate since the Ewon's LAN and WAN IP ranges may not be the same.
So from what I've read so far, it might be possible to create a bridge between the router WWAN and WAN (or LAN) so that their IP range can be the same, and separate from the LAN network.

I'm hoping someone has experience with making such a bridge :pray:

Why does the Ewon needs to get a direct connection to the Wi-Fi upstream? Right now it should be working fine - does it not?

Maybe you just need to set a port forwarding?

I'm not sure what you mean - which port (LAN/WAN) of the Ewon should I have connected to which port of the router?

Both, maybe. It depends on how the Ewon works - I don't know this device.

set the DMZ for the Ewon or as admon said:

Seems that you are overthing this problem, as @admon said.

Thanks for the replies. I most likely am overthinking it, so I will think about it some more and try to simplify it :laughing:
There are big gaps in my knowledge, so I'm bound to be asking the wrong questions
