Hello,

Need some help.

Lets say we have

LAN1: Device1, Device2
LAN2: Device3

Device1 accessing data on Device2, now Device3 needs to access Device2 data too, but without LAN1 devices access to LAN2 devices.
Device2 and Device3 should be able to communicate freely, but now other LAN1 device should be able to communicate to LAN2

Is this possible to achieve? How?

Thanks for suggestions.

You need a real router that allows multiple lan subnets. Most device you find that are called routers are actually gateways. They pretty much only allow a single lan subnet and translate all the traffic to single wan ip address.

Almost any commercial router/firewall can do this. You could load third party firmware like dd-wrt onto a consumer device but dd-wrt take a lot of reading to do things but it is free.

Pretty much a real router will by default allow traffic to flow between 2 lans. You would then use traffic filters to restrict which traffic is allowed and which is not.
