subnets

Setup

  • 1Gb connection
  • Hub5 in router mode 192.168.0.1 (needs to be router mode because of pod)
    • DHCP 192.168.0.2 reserved for tplink router using its mac address
  • Black pod
  • Cat 6 cable to TPLink AX50 WAN port
  • AX50 in router mode (needs to be router mode as I need functionality that is lost in AP mode)
    • AX50 Internet (WAN):
      • IP: 192.168.0.2 
      • Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
      • subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    • AX50 LAN:
      • IP: 192.168.1.1
      • subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    • Static link added:
      • Network destination: 192.168.0.0
      • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
      • Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
      • Interface: LAN


Everything works fine except I can't connect from a device on 192.168.1 to a device on 192.168.0
(I have a samba server I'd like to be able to access from both 192.168.0 and 192.168.1 - dont care which subnet its connected to if this makes things easier)

I also tried a route to 192.168.0.11 255.255.255.255 - no changes.

Have I got a config wrong/how do I resolve ? Or is this something the Hub is blocking ? Are there any workarounds. 
I guess I could probably access with cloudflare tunnelling but this seems overkill unless its the only way

TIA !

  • Yeah I think this is it. Now I can see the AX50 connection speed is as good as Hub+Black  Pod its a possibility.
    Quite liked having 7 RJ45 ports though lol so if needs be I have a little switch I can pop in - just another box/another power supply *sigh*
    Great answer though, thanks
