Trying to connect two routers (lemmy.world)

Hi all!

I have 2 ISPs with their own routers.

Router A: 192.168.0.1/24

Router B: 192.168.20.1/24

I have my servers plugged into Router A and all my endpoint and users' devices connected to Router B.

I want users connected to Router B (192.168.20.1/24) to have access to server 192.168.0.90

I thought plugging a LAN cable and connecting Router A and Router B and then defining static routes in both routers would solve the issue.

However, at the first step itself I have an issue. When connecting the routers via a LAN cable, both routers dont get any IP.

I was also referring to this post on superuser. Though Router B is capable of creating subnet and static route, I am not sure if Router A (Archer XR500v) is capable of creating a subnet and/or a static route.

This is the way I ended up doing it.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :)
