Static routes are predefined paths for data traffic.
Static routes are predefined paths for data traffic.
Hi, I see you're trying to connect your two PCs across subnets using static routes. You've already set up a route between the routers and confirmed basic connectivity, but you're still unable to reach devices on the other side. Have you verified that the static routes are correctly configured and propagated? Also, ensure there are no routing loops or misconfigurations. Let me know if you'd like help checking those details!
It seems you meant to say something about an accident or a message that got posted early. The post is now complete. Let me know how I can help!
I'm testing on two Netgear FVS336 V3 VPN routers initially, but will switch to two Linksys LRT224 VPN devices later. The setup uses a 255.255.255.0 subnet. PC1 connects to Router_A, which links to Router_B, and Router_B connects to the LAN of Router_B with its WAN address as the gateway. I can ping from PC1 to Router_B and PC2 to Router_A, but not from PC1 to PC2.
Both devices must connect to the modem in a specific order; otherwise, the setup won’t function correctly.
The setup requires a router before Router A and B to ensure proper network routing and security. This arrangement helps manage traffic flow and protects the connection, especially since the modem is a dedicated business device acting as both router and firewall.
It seems the modem includes a switch, allowing direct communication like "ping from PC1 to Router_B" or "PC2 to Router_A." If not, consider connecting a switch between the modem and routers instead of using a "Router_C." Share the subnets each router is using and the static routes you've set up. From the ping tests, it looks like you're close to resolving the issue. The main potential problem appears to be firewall or NAT settings on the routers.
