Linksys Router: Static routes between 2 local subnet

[softech]

Hi,

I am my internet connection connect to my main Linksys router (192.168.1.1) with 192.168.1.x.

My 2nd Linksys router connect to the first one as Gateway as well.
The 2nd router has its WAN ip of 192.168.1.100 and it's local subnet as 192.168.2.x.

My machines at 192.168.2.x can get to the internet and connect to all machines in the 192.168.1.x network.

However, the 1.x network can't access the machines on the 2's network.

I try to add static routes on my main router (192.168.1.1) with the route: 192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.100

However, the route not work still.

anyway to make sure that the 1.x network able to access the 2.x network?

thanks

o man im looking forward to hearing the answer to this one...i have the same exact dilema!

I will look this one up for you. I'm at work currently and did not have time to explore it last night. I will tackle this when I get home.

Like I promised...

Go into the setup page of the router that is on the LAN. Click the ADVANCED tab. Click the DYNAMIC ROUTING tab. Put that router in ROUTER mode and set the TX and RX modes to RIP2. Thats how I just finished setting one up and it works fine. Mind you, this was on a BEFSR41v2 with firmware 1.44.2. If this doesnt work for you then you might have to call Linksys. Good luck reaching a good tech on their line!
