I currently have two routers, one which is primary one (i.e. 192.168.2.1) and the second one is DDT-WRT router which StrongVPN connection setup on it (i.e 192.168.2.31). Both are connected to a broadband modem which has supplied the WAN IP addresses to following,
a) Primary Router (ASUS RT-N66U) - 192.168.2.1
WAN IP : 192.168.100.2
b) VPN Router (Linksys E3000) - 192.168.2.31
WAN IP : 192.168.100.4
The default gateway on both routers is 192.168.100.1
Now the explanation to the setup and issue.
The purpose of setting up a VPN router (192.168.2.31) was connect to it as and when required since my ISP currently does not support services like Hulu, CBS, ABC and other TV services. In wireless mode, the router works brilliantly but then connecting to in wired mode is an issue because the 192.168.2.31 does not communicate with 192.168.2.1. One of the reasons behind this is because the I have limited the IP address pool on the 192.168.2.1 to about 20 addresses the last one being 192.168.2.30. I tried connecting the 192.168.2.31 to 192.168.2.1 via the WAN port and it did not recognize it at all, even after extending the pool of IP addresses. Infact it gave it a different IP address which was not working and only after bridging it did it start working. However I was not able to connect to Hulu since the VPN connection on the 192.168.2.31 ceased to work. Therefore I separated them by plugging them back into the LAN ports of the broadband modem and everything returned back to normal. I tried to see if there were shared settings on the broadband modem but could not find anything.
Therefore, I would like to know if a connection can be established to 192.168.2.31 from 192.168.2.1? And if so, is it simple or would additional hardware be required, something I am trying to avoid? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
