How do I get my PC on same network as my extra router?
I have the ONT device and ActionTec T3200M in my corner office, my PC is ethernet connected to the Actiontec. Disabled WiFi on the ActionTec, ip default at 192.168.1.254 My Asus AC3100 is connec...
Devices on two different networks are not supposed to see one another. If you need them to interconnect, you would be better to use the Asus unit as an Access Point, rather than create a separate network.
There are numerous tutorials on this topic on the web, have a look for the one that best explains for your needs.

I don't want them on separate networks though. Is there no way to utilize the MOCA adapter connection to setup bridging the Actiontec over to my Asus router when they are physically in different rooms?
Basically, in my corner office - ONT and Actiontec, wifi turned off. My desktop computer (only ethernet device) is plugged into the Actiontec.
Living room, coax to MOCA adapter - split to my Optik DVR and my Asus AC3100 router. Where I have plugged in my media pc via ethernet and then also use the Asus router to provide wifi. I can use my asus as an Access Point but find there's issues with wifi clients losing internet connectivity even though my asus router wifi is still connected and strong. Access point was great, shared drive on router shows up to desktop.
Now I tried switching moca to WAN port on the asus router, changed to full router mode and dhcp server - no issues for wifi clients. However, my desktop in the corner office can't access other computers as they are on different networks. I was thinking maybe powerline ethernet from my desktop to the asus router in the living room (vs ethernet to the actiontec)

If you bridge the Actiontec then they definitely won't see each other. If you want just the desktop PC to be on the Asus network, then yes powerline ethernet from it directly to the Asus should work. If not, the Asus would have to act as only an access point.
I don't really care about seeing the actiontec, just want to let it handle the Optik TV. if i have an emergency, i can ethernet cable directly to it to troubleshoot.
Ok, just wanted to see if there was an easier or better solution other than powerline to be on asus network for all of my devices. It's funny that i can't use the moca coax line.
