Basic question about router adjustments for your home network setup.
Basic question about router adjustments for your home network setup.
I don't think so, but did you perhaps install a MAC filter? The MAC address of your Wi-Fi router is different from your LAN router, which explains why it isn't detected. Someone else had the same issue and found a fix: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/mac...p.1734179/ You might want to check that.
Your router has a static IP in the 172.xx.xx.xx range, which is private and not meant for your public network. It's configured to assign DHCP addresses within the 192.168.0.xxx subnet. This mismatch is causing the problem. The DHCP server should be set up to distribute IPs on the 172.xxx.xxx.xxx/8 range, using a Class A address with a 255.0.0.0 mask.
He likely uses a university network with fixed IP ranges and aims to have his own router, making a double NAT setup perfectly fine. Since Classfull routing isn't used anymore, that shouldn't cause issues. He should be able to configure a NAT, which his router handles automatically assuming Wi-Fi is active.
