OK. I really hope we have a network guru here on the forums
because i sure need one.
What I have:
3 routers, 1 unmanaged 16 port Netgear switch, 1 cable modem with
4 ports.
How I am connected:
Router 1 is in my office with the Cable modem and the switch. (10.0.1.1)
This is network #1
WAN is connected to the Cable Modem port and internet works fine (WAN IP = 10.0.0.10)
Routers 2 and 3 are both D-Link DIR-655 routers.
Router 2 is also in my office and it is the "main" router for network #2 (10.0.2.1)
WAN is connected to the cable modem port and internet works fine (WAN IP = 10.0.0.171)
Router 3 is in my house and is the secondary router for the #2 network (10.0.2.2)
DHCP is disabled. Router 2 and 3 are connected by network cable LAN to LAN
Now. Network #1 is for all of my wired devices only. Mainly my computers, my backup drives
my NAS devices, printer, etc.
Network #2 is for WiFi only. All WiFi devices iPads, iPods, iPhones, Kindles, etc.
What I want is for both networks to work (sort of) independently of each other (which they
are so far) BUT I want to be able to see both networks from my main computer. My main
pc is 10.0.1.10 using 255.255.0.0. I cannot ping or control anything on the 10.0.2.xx network.
I have a good feeling this can be done because I am so damn close, but I'm apparently
missing 1 thing to get both networks available on my one computer.
