[Help Needed] Unusual SingTel Network Configuration @ Home

The system works perfectly, contrary to what SingTel says and what most people believe. (And yes, I can connect my phone's SingTel TV GO via Home View and still cast it to the Smart TV). Only caveat is, before I start up the set-top box I have to debridge routers R1 and R2 by temporarily disconnecting L1. Once the STB and R2 are in working order, I can rebridge the routers by connecting L1 again. Therefore, my STB will not only be able to access SingTel TV's services, but any device (excluding the STB) will be able to connect to the internet regardless of whichever router it is connected to, wired or wireless. Else I won't be posting this now. I would prefer to rid of that caveat altogether. Will doing the following help: Assign a different subnet mask for the following devices: R2, STB, P1 and STV BUT P1 and STV has the gateway still pointing to R1, thus allowing SIngTel TV and SingTel TV GO's Home View Function and Screencast to continue to function. Assign a different third octet to the IP Address of R2 and STB without altering the subnet mask. i.e. 192.168.1.x --> 192.168.13.x. Define static routes to route the traffic (STB pointing to R2 as gateway, and all other devices point to R1 as gateway, etc.) A combination of the above three. Or are there any other solutions to removing the caveat...? Or do I have to just deal with it? I welcome constructive contributions from everyone in this forum - any help is appreciated! -it_geek Last edited by it_geek; Today at 03:06 PM.. Reason: Text Formatting
