Hello !

I have following network situation:

Archer is the main router with network set up on 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0

I have another router (Router B) hooked up on Archer's LAN so its 192.168.1.160 on rachers DHCP and serves 192.168.2.1 range of addresses

 

I would like to set up routing in a way that hosts from network 192.168.1.x can access 192.198.2.x and vice versa.

 

I tried to add following static route - but no suiccess:

 

Please help

If this is a route on router A the default gateway should be 192.168.1.160 since the Router A doesn't know about network 192.168.2.0/24 (that's the theory).

Even if you fix this route you still won't be able to access the network devices connected to router B - that's because of the NAT on router B.(these are home grade routers).

What you can do in this case is to use services on router B devices, if you open the corresponding ports (port-forwarding/virtual servers).

To achieve what you want, it's best to configure router B in AP mode. If it's a TP-Link router you can use this guide.

That way devices connected to both routers would be on the sane network subnet and will see each other without configuring any routes.
