Oh dear...

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

If it's a real hub with the RS232 bridged in (same segment/collision domain) this may be the first problem: you'll have to use the same network address / mask on all ports incl. RS232. 'IP=192.168.10.1/31 (Amiga=192.168.10.11)' is a contradiction in itself and a CIDR mask of /31 is absolutely senseless: there one bit left for the host part, but the host part must not be all 0s or all 1s, so there's nothing left... And a hub usually has no IP (only managed ones).

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

OK.

>ruter1 Wifi IP=10.0.1.1/24
>ruter1->Internet

This looks OK, but all hosts/routers must be aware of the segments available. The Amiga should have a default gateway of 192.168.16.2 and the packets find their way out. But router1 doesn't know about the 192.168.16/24 segment and the answer packets can't find their way back. You'll have to add a static route for router1 192.168.16.0/24 -> 10.0.1.200 to enable traffic between it and the Amiga. Plus router2 has to have a default gateway -> 10.0.1.1. to reach the internet.

PS: just read up a bit on what's to be found for the EP-3506: it looks like the serial port is routed, so you'll have to add/modify the routes there, too. (And the segmenting you posted looks OK.)

Well, the 'hub' seems to be a router after all. You need static routes to 192.168.10.0/24 on both wireless routers, that's fine. The problem might be that the 'hub' always uses the serial port as default gateway - it's supposed to point to the ISP - and if that can't be changed, you're screwed... Do you have the manual? Does it have another way of configuring (e.g. telnet)?

The 'hub' is a narrowband router with NAT support.

I assume you've set up leased line operation, disabled NAT and configured Amy to connect via PPP.
As far as I can see there's no way to define the default gateway for the hub...
You might get around some problems when you configure your wireless routers to 'bridge LAN and WLAN' mode, most models support this option (under various names though).

The only solution I can currently see is to set up an HTTP proxy on one of the other machines that the Amiga can see/ping and configure that for outbound connections.
