| Apr 9, 2015 at 4:51 | comment | added | Goblinlord | @eddacker Also, a note so you are aware. All 3 of the devices do routing (each one is used as a gateway). None of the devices do DNS (each setting gets passed down via DHCP and your ISPs DNS is used). All 3 of those devices do DHCP. | |
| Apr 9, 2015 at 4:30 | comment | added | Goblinlord | @eddacker Based on your comment and the setup guide I found for the Amped AP300 my original assessment seems correct. Each device is a router and each device connected behind router 1 or router 2 are using PAT (NAT Overload). I will repost an answer for you shortly. | |
| Apr 8, 2015 at 21:52 | comment | added | eddacker | I believe that I have 'router2' connected to 'router1' at its network port and not into one of the lan ports. I will investigate when I get home this afternoon. modem router is pace att 5031nv & AP1 is ASUS RT-AC68U & AP2 is Amped AP300 connected via ethernet in its network port. I believe only the pace is doing routing/dns/dhcp and the others are in AP mode. I will also verify that. | |
| Apr 8, 2015 at 0:45 | comment | added | Goblinlord | Actually thinking about it, you could connect to the switch port side on the second AP instead of the WAN side. Then disable DHCP on the second AP and it should work. This all depends on what the actual equipment is though I guess. Still need a comment on that or question edit with model of the wireless APs. | |
| Apr 7, 2015 at 8:09 | comment | added | Tetsujin | A decent AP ought to be able to allow traversal if both are plugged directly to the router, not daisy-chained, & also if both are actually set to AP mode, therefore not attempting to do their own DHCP or NAT. I have a similar [working] setup though I link everything by a switch before the router, so that might be the difference. | |
| Apr 7, 2015 at 7:56 | comment | added | Goblinlord | Also, I would note... it is entirely possible that you can't fix the routing issue without different routing hardware. | |
| Apr 7, 2015 at 7:55 | comment | added | Goblinlord | The pinging is likely a routing issue. The network shares depending on your routing you should be able to access manually (using the IP of device) only in an outward direction (from inner most network accessing a network further out). Out being closest to the internet connection. | |
| Apr 7, 2015 at 7:52 | comment | added | Goblinlord | What model devices are you using (WIFI access points)? | |
