Netgear r6120 as wifi adaptor

Setup my r6120 as a wifi adaptor, well, dumb AP anyways. Wifi is connected to my main router and has an ip address issued by the main router. The lan has been setup with an IP address next to the main routers address, dhcp has been turned off.. The pc I’m using is connected to the r6120 by Ethernet cable. However, even though I can connect to the internet with that pc, I cannot connect to my local network, and devices on my network cannot see the pc. (the main router has assigned an address to the r6120 and can be seen in the connected devices tab) there seems to be some disconnect between the wifi and the lan of the r6120 in this regard. What am I missing?

Looked at them, and I’m not sure the relay would work as it changes the LAN IP. My PC is connected to the LAN port of the R6120, and its wifi is connected to my network. I think my LAN IP has to be the same as my network in order to work?

Started playing around with several configurations based on the instructions for relayd in the doc wiki. Nothing worked. In the end, I bridged lan and wwan and used the ip address for the lan as the address for the relay bridge access. That worked. Don’t know if it should be that way though.
