Hello guys,

I hope someone can help me with this. I have a network configuration as follows:



ISP router
IP: 192.168.1.2
mask: 255.255.255.0
dhcp: 192.168.1.200 to 192.168.1.255
I

Main router
Ethernet from ISP router goes to Wan port
wan ip: 192.168.1.200
IP: 192.168.0.1
mask: 255.255.255.0
dhcp: 192.168.0.50 to 192.168.0.99
Some clients connected to it via wireless and wire.

2nd router as media bridge
Connects and gets Wan IP via wireless
wan ip: 192.168.0.80
IP: 192.168.3.4
mask: 255.255.255.0
dhcp: 192.168.3.100 to 200
Some clients connected to it via wireless and wire


Clients connected to 2nd router can access computers under 2nd router, Main router

and ISP router; Clients connected to Main router can access computers under IsP and

Main router but not under 2nd router.

I need clientes conencted to Main router to be able to acces clients under 2nd

router. I understand that both routers and their clients are on different subnets.

I have read about static routing which could be the only way to do what I need but

honestly I don't quite understand how to do it.

Please, let me know if you know to do this, thanks in advance!

Regards,

Carlos.

Since in works outbound from the 2nd router but not reverse it means it is a NAT problem. Same reason you cannot access your machines from the internet without port forwarding and such.

First you disable NAT on the 2nd router...which will now break everything. Then in the main router you must put in a static route for 192.168.3.0/24 subnet pointed to 192.168.0.80. Some routers do not have the options to allow this.

Hi john-b691,

Thanks for your reply! Quick question, this is the input form in my router (Asus RT-AC66U) for static routing:

Network/Host IP:

Netmask:

Gateway:

Metric

Interface:

Is this the acceptable way of adding the static route?

Network/Host IP: 192.168.3.0

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.0.80

Metric

Interface: WAN

Thanks for your time and help.

Regards,

Carlos.
