Latest firmware supports ONLY US models, not EU, thus it does not apply.
Setting DHCP off is useless since the router requests a different subnet (ie 192.168.2.1 instead of 192.168.1.2) than the main router/modem. This way the router2 (ac1200) is not within the DHCP list of the modem/router1 (VR400) and it gets stuck twice a day = non functional.
Open to any other suggestions.
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

That is an IP Address not a Subnet...... the subnet is like 255-255-255-255 or 255-255-255-0 etc and it should be set under LAN to exactly the same as the Main Router .

I set the IP address to one number higher than the Lan address of the main Router , they cannot be the same (IP Conflict) so I set main router 192-168-0-121, secondary Router 192-168-0-122 , both on subnet 255-255-255-0

secondary Router is plugged to LAN port 1 of the main Router ...do not use the WAN port.

secondary Router has DHCP OFF , the Main Router needs to do this otherwise you will likely get what is called "Double-Natting" Errors
