hi, i need help on my current mikrotik configuration:

mikrotik router 192.168.1.1, with dhcp from 192.168.100-150
tplink wireless router on ether4 of mikrotik, with static ip 192.168.1.2 (dhcp 192.168.8.100-150)

currently ip 192.168.1.0/24 cant see computer with ip 192.168.8.0/24, which is ok, but 192.168.8.0/24 computer can see 192.168.1.0/24, ok too.
currently have accounting on so that i can see which IP is taking bandwidth.

my question:

  1. to be able to do accounting on ip subclass 192.168.8.0/24, right now only show ip subclass 192.168.1.0/24
  2. what if i want ip subclass 192.168.1.0/24 to see computer with ip 192.168.8.0/24

thank you very much for your kind attention.

I believe you need to add a static route for 192.168.8.0/24 pointing to 192.168.1.2 on mikrotik router.

i got to IP → Routes → +New Route

Dst Address: 192.168.8.0/24
Gateway: 192.168.1.2
Type: unicast
The rest leave default should be fine.
