I have a router from my ISP that connects to the Internet, supplies the landline telephones and is connected to all wired devices. I would now like to use my GL-AXT1800 to replace the ISP router's outdated wifi.
Since I want to have a normal Wifi and a guest Wifi, the GL-AXT1800 is set as a router in network mode.
As I have 2 domains (devices on the ISP router are in 192.168.2.x and the devices on the GL-AXT1800 are in 192.168.8.x), I cannot currently ping devices in the Wifi from my wired PC and the other way around.
Is there any way that I can access the devices in the other domain without changing the network mode to access point (because I will lose the guest wifi)?
You cannot ping 192.168.8.x from 192.168.2.x by default.
You shall make it with port forwarding.
May I know you actual application that you need to access the LAN devices of AXT1800.
If just a few services, then port forwarding would be fine.
If too many services, it would not be a good way to make it
there are very diverse use cases. whether I want to access the NAS from my smartphone or the smarthome devices from my PC. Could port forwarding also be set for port ranges and just forwarding every port?
