Hi all,
I've spent the better half of last weekend to try and find a solution to my problem, felt I got close a couple of times, but never managed to get through. So with a bit of luck this won't be too tricky...
Setup: Fritzbox 7583 as primary router with a PiHole as DNS (WAN connector), GL.iNet AXT1800 as secondary router (LAN connector).
Issue:
I'd like to access the GL.iNet router from a computer in my main network, really just for convenience reasons. Don't need to access any other devices in the secondary network.
What I did:
- Primary (FB) network: FB: 192.168.0.1 (DHCP range starts at .10) / GL: 192.168.0.2 (fixed). Secondary (GL) Ethernet: IP: 192.168.0.2, Gateway: 192.168.0.1, DNS: 192.168.0.10 (PiHole), DCHP: on. Router IP address (GL): 192.168.1.1
- Configured a static IPv4 route in my FB: Network: 192.168.1.0, Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.0.2
What's missing (I believe): It seems the right firewall settings need to be set up with the GL router for me to get access from the 192.168.0.0 network. Unfortunately, all guides I found were still referring to the old software <4.6 where the firewall setting was still available. This is now split between System > Security and Network > Port Forwarding as far as I understand and I didn't manage to replicate the Firewall configurations from older posts.
(Side note: I don't want to access the GL from outside, traffic is only supposed to go out)
Any thought what needs to be done?
Thanks a lot!
