Hi, I have two networks set up. The router uses two VLANs: VLAN0 handles all traffic via an OpenVPN client on the router, while VLAN1 connects to the ISP's router. My main issue is that I can reach devices on both VLANs using their IP addresses, but I want a unified view of my SMB equipment—including APs and the server—in Windows Explorer or Network settings. The router at 10.0.0.1, the AP, and my laptop aren’t visible, and my laptop can’t connect to the server. The OpenVPN client on the server is slowing everything down, limiting speeds to just 4MBps even though the direct link is much faster (100/25). Any suggestions on how to fix this?

In Windows Explorer's address bar, you can enter the IP address like \\192.168.0.50. Once done, you can assign these shares as network drives. Device listing details aren't accessible via routing, as they rely on broadcast addresses.

Certainly, that approach is valid. I was curious about whether it's feasible to display a complete list of devices in the network window.

Usually I’ve managed to get the network list to function correctly only within a specific domain. Else it tends to be inconsistent.

I understand you've set up numerous configurations for subnet changes. It seems like you'll need to keep this in mind moving forward. Thanks.
