Setting up a network with two routers HG659 and RT-AC66U

Hi everyone,

I need a bit of help setting up a home network with two routers.

I have a HG659 dsl modem/router from Vodafone and a Asus RT-AC66U.

What I want to do is set up the RT-AC66U as my wifi network and use the HG659 as a modem to connect the RT to the internet. The reasons for doing this is that I want to connect to a VPN using Openvpn on the RT, which the HG cant do... not to mention how the RT gets much better wifi speeds and range.

Currently, I have the HG set up and it is connected to the internet. I have connected the RT to the HG with an ethernet cable which goes into a LAN port on the HG and connects into the WAN port of the RT. I have also changed the local IP address of the RT to 192.168.2.1, the lan IP address of the HG is 192.168.1.1.

When I connect my PC to the RT router via wifi it gets no internet access. When I login into the RT router homepage it states that the network cable is unplugged.

What do I need to do to get it to work so that the devices connected to the RT router get internet access? What WAN settings do I need to input into the RT router?

I have been searching the internet and trying to set it up for the last couple of days.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
