Static routes configured between two routers on identical networks
Static routes configured between two routers on identical networks
Hey guys and girls I have 2 tp-link routers in 2 different buildings, they are connected through a LAN cable. I have a problem with the local network between them. I can't access PC from one building to another, but the internet works, only the local network doesn't. A: main router is with ip 192.168.0.1 B : wan: 192.168.0.9 LAN: 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 subnet Hereby an image, showing the scheme for the routers:
According to Gokul_P, access Router B via its login, turn off DHCP and assign it an IP like 192.168.0.2. Link Router A to Router B using only LAN ports (avoid WAN). After that, restart or reconnect the devices connected to Router B. This setup creates a single flat network where all devices communicate on the same subnet.
the web interface of the TP-Link Archer C2 v.1 router doesn't have an Operation Mode menu. Making manual Access Point configurations through the LAN port causes unusual wireless behavior. Internet performance on LAN ports is good with a stable local network, but Wi-Fi experiences packet loss and instability. Everything functions normally as a router, yet a local network isn't available.
Router B assumes every device linked to the wan port is either offline or unreachable on the internet. Therefore, it will consistently prevent all traffic unless configured properly as discussed earlier.
You may require a suitable Access Point. Using a router as one isn't reliable since it's usually overlooked. Even if you install OpenWRT on router B, I think it's better to handle both. They don't offer much power compared to other options.
