Can I setup my ASUS RT-AC66U with my Pace 5031NV to handle my Lan and Wirless?
I have a Pace5031NV Gateway that was installed over the weekend. I have a Asus RT-AC66U router I would like to use for my Lan and Wireless traffic and just use the Pace as a modem basically or access point. Has anyone had success getting this working. I don't like the Wireless Range on this Gateway already. Can anyone provide some straight forward instructions for doing this. It seems like it is possible just don't have time to keep poking around to get it working. Thanks in advance.

Hello--i have same task--i appreciate the long tutorials on how it works but it is difficult to follow when actually setting up--you kind of have to reverse engineer the explanation--including looking up some definitions-
can anyone give a step by step instruction-start to finish- on how to set this up
I have pace 5031NV and want to install an asus rt-ac68u between it and my network-
using only the asus for my wireless and network functions-hopefully the pace will just be a modem--thank you

@02090209H Try this fromComputer Joe:
This is what I did to use an "internal" router. I set my "internal" router to use DHCP for the WAN address, plugged it's WAN port in to the RG, reboot the "internal" router, let the RG assign a local address to the "internal" router and then set that address to the DMZ in the RG's management interface. When I go to the "internal" router's management interface it shows as having the same WAN, gateway, and DNS addresses that the RG uses.
I set the "internal" router to assign addresses to "my" side of the network in a different IP range than what the RG uses (192.168.2.* instead of 192.168.1.*) but using the same subnet mask (255.255.255.0). My internet works fine with no interuptions and local network tasks (back ups, streaming, etc.) work as expected.
I can also still access the RG from "my" side of the network when I need to without having to change any network settings or swap any cables. Leave DHCP running on the RG. You do not need to disable the firewall in the RG as the DMZ will open a pinhole through it to the address you pick (your internal router). If you have existing wireless on your router that your satisfied with and want to keep, just make sure to turn off the wireless in the RG.
As for the STBs they should be run straight out of the RG with CAT5 or RG6 Coax.
Should work for all 2wire/Pace/Arris RGs. Good luck 😉
