Using TP-Link router when establishing connection through PPPoE a secondary address entry is made in TP-Link router (Secondary address is DHCP IP assigned to device connected to LAN) and WAN address is allotted to access internet. Keep in mind both of these address are of different networks.

If using any other router like Linksys, D-Link, Tenda this secondary address does not exist in routing table or anywhere in router, due to which I cannot access sharing server which are located on that LAN.

Anyone have a solution for this. I ask my ISP but they say to use TP-Link router is the only solution.

I cannot add a static route in other routers as in TP-Link routing entry I found looks like 10.10.0.0 255.255.0.0 and default gateway 0.0.0.0 and other routers do not accept 0.0.0.0 as gateway. I tried different gateway like IP of WAN port which look like 100.100.x.x and local IP of LAN which is 192.168.0.1 obvious, Nothing works
My problem is how to add entry for secondary IP which is another LAN where a file server is installed through which PPPoE connection is made and another network is formed for internet
