Hello. I have a ZyXEL NXC2500 Wireless lan controller connected to 2 different computers in
a local connection. I have 2 different VLANs setup. https://imgur.com/a/0Ec8bKu (see image)
and what im trying to do is connect the wireless lan controller to my network so i can acess 
internet from the 2 computers that are connected. Do someone have an idea how I can do this?

Thanks!

Your Imgur link doesn't work.

Do you have a particular reason why these two devices need to be segregated?

 

I don't have experience with this particular device but an educated guess says you need to configure a trunk port which will lead to your router. A port on your router will then need to be configured with sub-interfaces one of each assigned to each VLAN and each using it's own subnet. After that these networks may need to be added to the routing table so they can communicate with the internet if the router doesn't do that for you.

I need you to quote me or else I don't know you replied.

 

That's what VLANs do. They virtually segregate devices from one another so they can't communicate. It also helps reduce the size of broadcast domains among another perks but I won't get into that.

 

Looking at this image I assume this device acts as a Router & DHCP server. You would have to designate a port as the WAN interface and configure it. After that you may have to setup routes so it knows to forward Internet bound packets out the right interface if it doesn't do that for you.
