Hello Everyone,
After a long research on the forum and over the internet i ended up opening a thread in here to seek for your help.
The Situation:
1) I have moved to a new house that have an infrastructure for cat6 ethernet cables running into every room ends with a rj45 wall ethernet plug and have a panel at the entrance (will be called panel) that leaves all ethernets cables coming from the rooms unconnected in there, all with rj45 installed.
2)My ISP installed a GPON device (may be called a modem) in the panel and a router in the living room for my internet to be up and running. Inside the panel there is fiber optic cable end, they plugged fiber optic to the GPON device and plugged ethernet cable to it which goes to my living room. And router is connected to the living room wall ethernet plug by the WAN port. Everything is fine until now.
The Request:
I want to expand the wifi coverage of my router to the bedroom, which also have a wall ethernet plug.
Hardware I Have:
-GPON Device (Nokia G-010G-Q) / provided by ISP
-Router (ZTE H298A Home Gateway) / provided by ISP
-Additional router (TP-Link TD-W9970-v3)
-Gigabit ethernet switch (TP-Link LS1005G)
The Issue:
I have installed the switch inside the panel and have the network as ;
fiber optic cable > GPON > ethernet > SWITCH
and then i have connected both living room and bedroom to the switch. then i have connected wall ethernet in living room to the router WAN port. then i have connected the bedroom wall ethernet to the additional routers LAN port. there seems no problem in the cabling since i see LAN led is blinking on the device.
i have previously made the settings of the additional router so that it will be a bridge. since the ip address of the main router is 192.168.1.1 , i have given 192.168.1.2 to the bridge and turned DHCP off.
However there is no internet over wifi on the bridge. When i plug the bridge directly to the router there is no problem.
I also uploaded some photos of the panel in below link;

I suspect the problem is connecting the switch on the wrong location since bridge is not connected to one of the LAN ports of the router however to the WAN port of the router. however i cannot figure out how i can solve this puzzle without additional cabling inside the house. If you can help with my network i would be appretiated.
Thank you in advance!
