I have two LANs set up: one at 192.168.1.0/24 and another at 192.168.2.0/24. You need to reach a file server on the first network from the second by name, but currently you can only resolve host names within your own subnet (192.168.2.0). You can type its IP address to access it, but you want DNS resolution across networks. From what you described, a static route or DNS forwarding might be missing. Your current routing diagram includes an additional network (172.16.1.0/24) which is your wireless area, but you're not using it for internal DNS. You should configure a route from 192.168.2.0 to the file server's IP in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, and ensure DNS settings allow name resolution between both networks.
