Chaining two Asus Routers both with DHCP












0















Here is my setup



network topology



Router 1:
192.168.1.1 subnet: 255.255.255.0



Router 2:
IP leased from Router 1: 192.168.1.11. Own IP is 10.0.0.1 subnet: 255.0.0.0



Computer A: plugged into Router 1 with IP 192.168.1.189



Computer B: plugged into Router 2 with IP 10.0.0.79



I have a static route added to Router 1: 10.0.0.0, subnet 255.0.0.0 to gateway 192.168.1.11



I also put 10.0.0.79 in Router 2's DMZ



I can't ping from Computer A to Computer B, nor SMB to it.



Any ideas?



Router 2 is always configured to connect via OpenVPN as external Computer B traffic should always go through OpenVPN.

  • Bridge them, set the default gateways to the nics you want to use each wan connection. Don't Cascade or you will be double nated

You need to setup a route back from router 2 to router 1. The ping packets can most likely get to computer B, but computer B’s response can’t return to computer A.
