Can I set this router to be only a WiFi Access Point?
I have a router from my ISP for WAN on 192.168.1.xxx this is connected to a Netgear Switch, to this, all my cabled devices connect to the same LAN.
I have disabled the WiFi on my ISP router and have a Firewall, IDS, AV and IPS system that I want to sit between the ISP router and the rest of my network so all traffic is scanned and protected. This is why I have a separate router for WiFi, If I used the ISP router for WiFi traffic would not pass through my system bypassing the protection.
For my WiFi, I have been using the Archer with a LAN 192.168.0.xxx, and I used the WAN to connect to the switch on 192.168.1.xxx with the gateway set to the ISP router. This works but, of course, nothing on the WiFi LAN can talk to anything on my switched LAN.
I cannot make the gateway IP different to the WAN network, and I cannot make the WiFi network the same as the WAN network, so I have to have the WAN as 192.168.1.xxx and the WiFi as 192.168.0.xxx.
What I want to end up with is nodes on one network to be able to access resources on the other, or just have one LAN wifi and Ethernet.
Can this be done ?
