Home Network - Assistance Connecting Network on R1 with R2
Posted on 2011-03-08
Hello Guys,
I recently got Fios on my home network. They gave me a "Actiontec MI424WR-GEN2 Rev E router" / modem which also works as a wireless AP. the wireless sucks therefore I decided to use my own Router "DLink DGL-4500 Gamer" for wireless connections. After connecting the DLink Router to the Actiontec Router (given by my ISP) I was able to connect a host to the DLink and browse the internet fine. The problem is that on my DLink Router I am on a different network than on the Actiontec. I am able to browse the internet on both network with no problems but I can't ping or connect to any host on the other network and viceversa. I was wondering if there was a way of making these two Routers/Networks "talk" to eachother??
Actiontec Router: 192.168.1.1 (ISP)
DLink Router: 192.168.0.1 (Home)
Note: I can ping my default gateway which is 192.168.1.1 from network 192.168.0.x using any host.

An easy way you could possibly achieve this would be to configure the DLink DGL-4500 in Access Point mode rather than routing mode. If you can't configure it in an Access Point mode, make sure the following is true:
1) Network Address Translation(NAT) is turned off on the DLink Router
2) Add a manual route to the DLink Router - destination 192.168.1.0 via gateway 192.168.0.1
3) Network Address Translation(NAT) is turned ON on the ActionTec
Another way to configure this would be to configure the ActionTec modem in a bridge mode - the Actiontec would not perform any DHCP, DNS, or Routing functions, but would be a 'pass-thru' modem that would pass all traffic through to your DLink. Then you would simply be working with the 192.168.0.0/24 network.
Let me know how it works!

nice! that worked except that I can't ping hostnames just IP addresses. Same goes with mapping to shared drives, I would have to type the IP instead of the host name. Is there a way around this?
Also,
Adding manual Router: Destination is 192.168.0.1 (DLink) and Route 192.168.1.1 (ActionTec)
It asked me for a Metric and I added 1 - I guessed
There is an option for the DNS on DLink, this might be what I need to configure to fix the hostname issue. but I am unsure.

I fixed it by changing the "Local Domain Name" on the DLink Router. Thanks for your help!!!
