Router assigning wrong LAN IP to new devices (alien.top)

So my household has 3 routers, 2 Asus RX-AX86U’s and 1 Actiontec T3200M (ISP Router).

When I first got my Asus AX86U everything was running perfectly fine! But once I got my second AX86U for the living room (same room the ISP router is in) I’ve noticed that any new device that connects to my network is being assigned a LAN IP from our ISP router rather than my network.

My LAN IP’s typically go 192.168.50.xxx while our ISP router goes 192.168.1.xxx

If anyone has an idea I would greatly appreciate it!!

If I could unplug & ditch the ISP router I would however, it is required for actual television + the family uses it.

Edit; Manually assigning the IP via device MAC seems to work but extremely obnoxious to do every device.

What kind of internet do you have? Fiber, DSL, or cable? I'm also wondering how your TV is set up as well. Is it hooked through a coaxial cable right into the modem? A picture of the modem might help.

Cable tv shouldn't require a modem under most circumstances. Unless you have fiber optic TV, which then converts digital signal of fiber back to analog signal through coaxial cable, which then hooks into your TV?
