I am trying to setup a second router to wirelessly connect to a primary router, and have that router provide wifi to all the devices wired to the secondary router, all witht the same subnet.
I think my ip addresses are correctly getting assiged by the primary router, as the devices wired to the secondary router receive the correct subnet. My devices are also able to ping each each other (192.168.8.x can ping 192.168.8.y), but only the devices directly connected to the primary router can connect to the internet. Shouldn’t this be possible, and if so, can someone help me troubleshoot this issue?
Hi there,
SO I have the same setup, but using PFsense in Router 1 spot and a WAP for WiFi
The DHCP on the router is Small scope only 20 IP range, WAP gateway Address is the PFSense gateway (default) I forward DNS requests also outside of my WAN ip. I have a third interface for DMZ and Testing off of my LAN network. The WAP is handing out IP’s for the wireless clients and the scope is contiguous from the Gateway. ALSO subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 so I can see the other subnets

Everything is based on Rules, SO. DHCP, DNS, Static IP’s, Firewall and Routing.
