in mtk sfp port it’s connected a managed switch ( sfp )
in mtk eth1 is my internet connection ( pppoe )
in mtk eth2 is my wifi tplink router
– my file server is connected in the switch
in mtk i have the following ip config :
subnet 10.30.128.0/27 - sfp ( interface ip … .30 )
subnet 172.16.1.0/30 - eth2 ( interface ip … 1 )
in tplink i have the following config :
wan ip - 172.16.1.2 ( dc to mtk )
lan subnet - 10.10.0.0/28 ( for wifi only )
in my house i have 6 wifi devices using internet via tplink
internet is ok, it’s working fine
My problem is that from three wifi devices ( phones ) i cannot access my fileserver share, but the other three ( laptops ) it’s working. Also, from my mtk i cannot ping any of the 10.10.0.0/28 devices.
From my 10.10.0.0/28 network i can ping any subnet from my mtk.
Well without seeing your configs its difficult to make any factual comments.
However, I do not support using the TPLINK as a router and would use it solely as an access point and let the RB do all the grunt work.
Of course you cannot ping devices behind tplink as router, thats normal.
In addition its confusing why you have two separate networks when in fact you want the wifi network to be able to access your othernetwork aka the file share.
What I recommend is placing the wifi segment on vlan.
Assuming the tplink is not vlan tagging capable just run eth2 port as an access port with a vlan for the wifi.
Lets say vlan10
You would want to make sure that vlan10 has access to the internet
You want to make sure that vlan10 has access to the fileserver ONLY on the regular LAN.
You can add your own regular lan pc to have access to the vlan (to access tplink for example).
