Dear Everyone,
I have the following problem (see pictures below).
I have a gateway that connects me to the internet (by fast Wi-Fi and Ethernet) but is not configurable at all. See picture 1.
Furthermore it seems to isolate all clients. As this gateway is entirely non-configurable, essentially I am dealing with two seperate networks (network created by router A with subnet 192.168.1.x and the second network created by router B with subnet 192.168.2.x).
See picture 2.
Right now I have an old Router A (Asus WL500W running DD-WRT), hooked up by ethernet Lan to Wan that distributes internet access to my VoIP phone, media player, TV etcetera in the living room. This is all on subnet 192.168.1.x. Router A is WiFi capable, but this is slow WiFi. (Single Band, 54 Mbps).
I get internet access on my PC in a different room (too far away to easily run an ethernet cable to the gateway or router A), through fast WiFi access (Dual Band, 300 + 450 Mbps). Router B acts as a WiFi client to the inaccessible gateway and provides internet access to the PC. Router B is also running DD-WRT.
QUESTION:
What I would like to be able to do, is to be able to communicate from my PC (on router B) with the devices connected to router A (and the other way round).
I would like to do this without routing my traffic over the internet when it is originating from router A and destined to go to router B.
Ideally I want traffic to and from the internet to continue to be routed as they currently are, as this is the fastest and stable setup.
How can I achieve this?
I thought I can perhaps have Router B somehow act as a Wi-Fi AP to Router A (or the other way round), and use Static Routing to connect the two subnets.
Should I use a private VPN? DD-WRT supports OpenVPN.
Anyone have an idea to effectively do this in DD-WRT?
Thanks a lot!
