Hi all, I am very new to networking and somewhat bewildered by it! I have a home network running on an EE Smarthub router with an IP range of 192.168.1.1 - .254. I want to add a second router using a different IP address range for all my IOT devices. I have bought a MikroTik hAP Mini for the second router. I was led to believe that connecting the WAN port of the second router to a LAN port on the first router or a network switch port would enable me to achieve my goal. I downloaded the Winbox software. I couldn’t access the Mini on its IP address of 192.168.88.1 but it was found in neighbors and I could access it using the MAC address. I had not realized that there were so many setting options.
Could someone help me please by explaining what I need to set up to achieve my objective. Most of my IOT devices would be wireless. I am not even sure what is the correct mode for my desired set up. I would like to be able to access the second network from devices on the first network.
