Region : UnitedKingdom

Model : TL-WR1043ND

Hardware Version : V2

Firmware Version :

ISP : plusnet


Have a router which utilises DHCP for allocating IP to various WiFi clients which connect to the Internet OK. (192.168.n.n)

Have two other clients which have fixed IPs of 170.20.n.n (which cannot be changed). Does anyone have any suggestions how I can configure a system to allow these to two clients to connect in to the same Internet connection. Could everything be connected in to a single router or would I need two routers and somehow link them so as to end up with with a single physical internet connection.

Have tried configuring the 170 clients to identify the 192 network as the Internet Gateway but this doesn't seem to work and won't give an Internet connection. Am a bit stuck now and wondered if anyone had any suggestions as the best way forward

All clients connected to the same network should be in the same subnet as the router to access internet.

Have two other clients which have fixed IPs of 170.20.n.n (which cannot be changed).
Do you know 170.20... is a public IP address which cannot be assigned by WR1043ND? Where did you get the IP address?

There must be some details you had not described clearly.

Why there are two 172.x hosts? How did they access internet before you install this router?
