yes, i have two wap routers on different subnets, one public/one private, with the gateway on the second pointing to the first so the cable internet works on both.....
easy to do the two wap/routers to isolate the subnets, trick was the gateway so the second subnet users could use the internet, but not see anything shared on the other subnet
Hi Peter,
Thanks for responding. I *sort of* understand how you've done it, but would you be able to give me a little more detail on configuration?
Regards,
Tanel.
wap router 1 ssid PPinUSA DHPC server on, cable modem, starting ip 192.168.1.1 starting WIP .100 for 50 (thats the public one, no wep/wpa)
powerline network "injector" <-- not real name but thats what i call it - plugged into the router part and an ac plug
wap router 2 ssid PPPinUSA (3rd P is for Private) dhcp server on, starting ip 192.168.2.1, gateway set to .1.1 second powerline device plugged into ac and lan port (not wan)
can plug #2 in anywhere (like spring/summer in the gazebo so I have internet there)
don't try and mess with seamless roaming (bad knees don't walk around much, tend to sit in one place, so if i am connected to one ssid i tend to stay in one spot and just use that one)
just for fun, went thru my junk box and got a bit silly (3 old wap routers, and a wiflyer wap) all set to non overlapping ip addresses..... (supposedly you can have them overlapping, and/but only 1 dhcp server, but I don't believe it, and this not only seems to work but is repeatable)
i changed the starting ip addresses on the other 3 wap/routers to things like 192.168.3.1 4.1 5.1, ssid's to PPC PPD PPE, and the wyflyer is .7.77 (by default)
gateway on all set to 1.1
just a caveat here, i was told here don't do it (have more than 1 dhcp server), wont work..... yet nobody could ever say exactly why, and it works fine for me, should I change things that are working just fine because someone says don't do it (why, because i said so, and it's always done that way... sounds like my mom, like jeff learns by destroying, i tend to learn by being contrary and doing the opposite of what i'm told)
update, had a bunch (5) more wap routers with no wall warts in my junk box, got up to PPJ at 10.1, works too, i daisy chain em router to router part... makes it easily repeatable
just for fun, used my pda and nokia tablet on the j, works fine too....
have the USB printer on a device on the .1. subnet, along with several TB's of USB drives, and just fired up my linux machine, it works fine too
can i trouble you to try something i'm testing? playing with assigning a name from a browser to a device on my network... if you go to marcs1102.homeip.net it should end up at one of the tivos on my network (not very sexy or useful, but want to play with browser access to my network, from elsewhere on the net, and i don't have any file server software handy... ps worked from my pda and tablet, but thats internal, need someone to give it a shot from outside the network, if you can do it, thanks in advance).....
