Hello everyone ! I’ve been trying to get my new router RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN in the same ip range and settings as my ISP one. The router from the ISP, has the default gateway to 192.168.100.1
So, the issue is that I can’t access my PC over
Whenever I want to configure the routerOS to be in the same range, I don’t have internet access. So far, I tried:
Setting the bridge from IP → address list to this:
Address: 192.168.100.1/24
Network: 192.168.100.0
Setting the DHCP Server in the network tab to this:
Address: 192.168.100.0/24
Gateway: 192.168.100.8
The IP Pool to 192.168.100.10-192.168.88.254
I’m using Cloduflare DNS too on the router
If I leave everything default, it works, but my PC is on 192.168.88.x and everything else, including TV, Phones, and other devices are in 192.168.100.x. If I want to share a movie via network to my TV, I can’t do it because the TV can’t find my shared folders.
Ehhh, I don’t get the question. I got this router as a gift and taking advantage of the situation to learn. Is it possible what I want to do ? Or each router needs to be in their own subnet ?
So martin, the right answer is forget about the equipment, what you need to do is articulate your requirements.
What is it that you want
a. users or groups of users on your network to be able to do or not do (including you the admin)
b. provide a network diagram of what equipment you have and notionally how they would be connected.
c. the config once you have started and then need help.
IN this case none of that is clear. All you have is an ISP router that is or isnt working for you and thats why you are interjecting another device.
Is their a valid reason to add the MT. Can you replace your ISP router with the MT, or is it really a modem/router combined.
Can it provide a bridged public IP or does it only give you a private IP address.
It’s a nice gift, you can have lot of fun with it, use it to learn many new things, eventually replace ISP router with it, anything you want.
But if I understand correctly that right now you’re keeping ISP router and connecting RB behing it and you need all other devices in same subnet, then it will be more an unnecessary obstacle than help. If those devices need to communicate directly, then the best thing to have between them is nothing, or something completely transparent. This router can work like this too, using integrated switch. But then it will be, well, switch. And it won’t help you to learn about routing.
If you want to experiment with routing, then connect this router as another device to existing subnet, and then on another port add another subnet for testing. There you can connect some device that doesn’t need direct communication with others, and play with that.
Sadly I can’t replace the ISP router. I wish I can, but not possible. I even have to pay if I want to have it in bridge mode… It’s a mess down here in Argentina. If I want to open any port, I have to call the ISP. What I wanted to do, is connect the MT router to the ISP router and have it all under the same subnet, but I see that I’m making an unnecessary mess.
I jumped to conclusions pretty quickly. I thought SMB worked because I had to setup the smb manually on it but it was just a few seconds of a random cache showing up.
What I did to fix the issue, is setup the Router as a CAP, so this way I can use the DNS of my choice and configure it as my liking and just using the crappy router that the ISP gave me as a “fake bridge”.
I’m still waiting on a wifi 6 AP in order to use that one so I have wifi on my whole house, but this is what I did to fix it temporarily. Thanks everyone !
