I’ve never encountered a MESH system that won’t work on the same subnet as a router. Is it configured to get a DHCP address from the router or has it been assigned a static address on the 192.168.5.0 subnet?

Also, is the MESH cabled into the router or does it connect to the router’s built-in WiFi?

The fact that your MESH network can use the internet via the router, even though they’re on separate subnets, means that there is likely to be a configuration option on the router to allow devices on the 2 subnets to see each other or not (i.e. to route traffic between them or to keep the traffic localized).
