Hi
Im having some noob doubts on how to do this
This is mi little network
local ip for groove 1 is .200
local ip for groove 2 is .201
IP for groove 1 clients is 35.1
IP for groove 2 clientes is 35.2
Currently, the connection between the APs and my network gives internet to the second Groove, and lets me access that Groove from my PC
-
Is there a way to access clients from both grooves from my local network? (being local network 192.168.0.0 and wireless clients network 192.168.35.0)
-
I need to know the best way to interconnect my two grooves, meaning, im using 192.X.X.2 to 49 on the first Groove and i want to use x.50 to x.80 on my second groove
-
Is there a way to control every IP just from the first groove? Should i use both to keep low CPU usage from Groove 1?

You really haven’t given enough information on your network. Obfuscating your internal IP addresses is not necessary…
Where is your gateway to the Internet? What is the internal IP address there?
What is your 750gl doing? How about showing the IP addresses on that (the private ones, not public IPs)?
What are your routes in each device?
When you get ‘us’ that information someone will jump in and help you out.

I guess this is a better aproach
750GL is only routing, nothing else, Internet WAN is on one ether at 750GL
First Groove is connected directly to 750GL
Second Groove is on the same network connected through a PTP connection
Let me know if that sufices 
Hi ggorbalan -
Far be it from me to tell you how to setup your network but it does seem a bit convoluted…
If it were me I’d go straight routing instead of PTP to the second groove, but that’s just me.
You are going to have to inject routing in there somewhere to be able to get to your clients. One thing I noticed right off the bat, both client networks are 192.168.35.0/24 and they are on two different segments of your network. So to make this work, first thing you need to do is give the two groove segments different IP blocks, i.e., 192.168.35.0/24 and 192.168.34.0/24
Point your route for the second groove client network at 192.168.0.50, and then in .50, tell that AP where to find that second groove network as it points at the second AP (192.168.0.51), and of course the second groove would know the new network…
If you want help going straight routing just post your configs here or you can reach me direct at my email address in my signature line below…

It sounds like you want devices connected on groove1 to be able to see and interact with devices on groove2.
The easiest way to do this would be to build an EoIP tunnel.
On the 750GL:
- Create a new bridge called wireless
- Put the IP 192.168.35.1/24 onto the wireless bridge interface
- Enable DHCP for 192.168.35.x on the bridge interface
- make sure the 750’s masquerade rule in srcnat will work for the 35.x network.
- create two EoIP tunnel interfaces “groove1” and “groove2” and add them to the wireless bridge network.
- (local IP = 192.168.0.1, remote IP = 192.168.0.200 for groove1, remote IP = 192.168.0.201 for groove2)
- if you want to block or filter traffic between the 35.x network and the 0.x network, then make such rules here
Then on each groove:
- Remove any 192.168.35.x IP addresses, DHCP servers, firewall rules, etc.
- If you don’t already have a bridge for the wireless network, create the “wireless” bridge.
- Create EoIP interface to the 750GL (local IP = 192.168.0.20x / remote IP = 192.168.0.1)
- connect wlan1 and EoIP interface to the wireless bridge
This isn’t the most efficient method, but it’s easy to set up and easy to understand. Basically, the grooves are now just simple access points and the 750GL is the router for the wireless network.
Optional extra:
I assume that your goal is to allow devices on groove1 to see and interact with devices on groove2… but if you actually want to block direct communication between wireless devices, then disable default forwarding on the wlan1 interfaces of each groove, and on the 750GL, go into the bridge ports configuration, and set the two EoIP interfaces with the same horizon value (e.g. horizon=1)
