Hello. I have 2 local subnets. The WAN side of the router has a DHCP server assigned ip of 192.168.13.101.The pc on the LAN side is static 192.168.0.251. I am not able to ping 192.168.13.100 (which is the server i need to talk to) from 192.168.0.251 with my pc when using a static ip but can if I use the routers DHCP to get the ip. I did an ipconfig /all when using DHCP to get the info needed to switch to static. I assume its a setting on the router which currently has the default settings other than changing the LAN ports ip. Thank you. ---

I would assume you wrote the wrong gateway / subnet mask while setting static IP. ---

`route print` would be important as well. ---

Having 2 default gateways can cause trouble. Since you don’t know this network, you might remove it by executing `route delete 192.168.1.1` ---

The main problem is that you are using 2 different networks - this does not work until you get the _metrics_ / _routes_ right. You need to set a lower metric for the LAN instead of the WiFi. > **[How to tell Windows to use a different default network card ?](https://www.speedguide.net/faq/how-to-tell-windows-7-to-use-a-different-default-350)** > > In the presence of multiple network adapters, it is sometimes necessary to manually specify which one is the default used for internet routing, for example.... This one should be the tutorial to fix this. ---

It worked 🙂 Thank you. I have forum fatigue from troubleshooting this for 2 days lol… Out of curiosity, why did it work with DHCP? (I had to wait 22 hours to post this) [Next page](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/connect-2-local-subnets-with-a-static-ip-on-one/40280.md?page=2)
