hub (again), with two wifi routers problem
« on: August 27, 2007, 04:24:23 PM »
I'm trying to connect Amiga to Internet using RS232,hub  and two wireless routers.
Just want to make sure if its actually a waste of time..

I have some results with these two configurations:

1)
hub RS232      IP=192.168.10.1/31 (Amiga=192.168.10.11)
hub LocalLan   IP=192.168.16.1/24

ruter2 LocalLan IP=192.168.16.2/24
ruter2 Wifi IP=10.0.1.200/24

ruter1 Wifi IP=10.0.1.1/24
ruter1->Internet

with such config I can ping ruter2 from Amiga(RS232), but not ruter1.
OTOH, computer connected to hub LAN cannot access net at all.






2)
hub RS232      IP=192.168.10.1/31 (Amiga=192.168.10.11)
hub LocalLan   IP=192.168.16.1/24
hub GlobalIP   IP=192.168.1.200/24

ruter2 LocalLan IP=192.168.1.1/24
ruter2 Wifi IP=10.0.1.200/24

ruter1 Wifi IP=10.0.1.1/24
ruter1->Internet


now I can't ping ruter2 from AmigaRS232, but computer connected to hub LAN
can ping Internet.


Is it 'mission impossible'?

yes, I understand that using router2 (working in AP Client mode) as a switch would solve the problem, but it insists on having wifi and LAN on different subnets. And I'd like to avoid drilling hole in wall/window for wired connection.

sorry about that CDIR mistake, I'm not good with that notation, but those two IP addresses are correct and Amiga can always ping RS232.

I can set two values for RS232: VPN and ISP,
if VPN is used then its used to connect remotely identical hub with IPs: 192.168.10.0-192.168.10.255

The manual for hub specifically states that RS232 must be different domain than hub LocalIP(192.168.16.0).

of course, I have setup static routes on both ruters
including the one for 192.168.10.0 (should I delete that one?)

The RS232 port(s) are intended for connecting LocalLan to ISP with modem, could that be the problem?

unfortunately hub has no options for gateway or static route in web interface  :-(

ok, thanks, I understand now.

yes, it has telnet option for configuring, haven't tried that.
Please have a look at hub manual (500Kb), I could not understand all of it
