Can't reach LAN Subnet (WR1043ND) from other Subnet (MT)

Hello there.

So I have:

  1. RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN - acting as PPPoE dialer on LAN 1, DHCP, DNS on LAN 2 (well, whole network is on LAN 2) - 192.168.1.253, SUBNET: 192.168.1.0

  2. TP-link WR1043ND with latest DD-WRT set up in Gateway mode - it’s WAN is connected to MIKROTIK LAN 2 (through few switches) so it gets IP from Mikrotik DHCP pool. WR1043ND WAN IP is: 192.168.1.251, LAN IP of WR1043ND is: 192.168.2.1.

I’d like to have access from Mikrotik’s subnet 192.168.1.0 to WR1043ND subnet 192.168.2.0. Both subnets are on LAN 2 port of Mikrotik.

My network look like this:

VDSL2 MODEM in Bridge Mode → Mikrotik Router LAN IP is “192.168.1.253”(PPP Dialer, DHCP for rest of the network, WAN IP from VDSL2 MODEM → TP-link WR1043ND WAN IP is"192.168.1.251" (IP from Mikrotik), LAN IP of WR1043ND is “192.168.2.1”.

So:

Mikrotik Router:

WAN IP: IP From Modem
LAN IP: 192.168.1.253
SUBNET: 192.168.1.0

TP-link WR1043ND (Repeater Mode):

WAN IP FROM MIKROTIK: 192.168.1.251
LANIP: 192.168.2.1
SUBNET: 192.168.2.0
SPI Firewall is DISABLED

I also applied this into Tp-link WR1043ND:

iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -j DROP

because I don’t want anybody connected to Tp-link WiFi to be able to access any network device on Mikrotik range.

I want to be able to get access to Tp-link setup page from Mikrotik.

Can anyone tell me how to do this without pain?

Maybe you want more info?

And yes, I already read “How to join two different subnets etc” but still - no joy.

Pretty please :wink:
