Static Route Between Mikrotik and TP-LINK

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi there,

I have a RB750 Network is 192.168.3.0/24 and TP-LINK Network is 192.168.2.0/24

TP-LINK WAN is conected in mikrotik ether5 and TP-LINK has the IP 192.168.3.216

I set up the static route on mikrotik

Dest. Address 192.168.2.0/24
Gateway : 192.168.3.216 Or Ether5

but i can’t reach nothing on Tp-link

Place TP Link IP in IP/Addresses and assign him that .2 segment. No need for adding static routes, Mikrotik will automatically add route to your tp link.

Could you give a example TomosRider?

In Address should I put 192.168.2.0/24
In Network should I put 192.168.2.1
In Interface should I put Ether5

Am I correct ?

Thanks!

In address you put your subnet that you want to cover, in this case 192.168.2.1/24, Network is 192.168.2.0 and whtever interface you want to assign that address.

Is the TP-Link a bridged ADSL modem or something like that? Are you trying to access the TP-Link bridged ADSL modem from the networks behind the Mikrotik?

My modem is 10.1.1.1 and I created my network on the interface it plugs into on the Mikrotik to 10.1.1.2, and I can access my bridged TP-Link ADSL modem from my internal networks. So I can see it’s Sync rate etc..

Hope output below helps you..

I have similar setup and could not get to the web configuration page of my TPLink Modem, in spite of using static IP address assignment (I’m sure I made some mistake somewhere, I’m still learning).

Finally solved it by configuring DHCP-Client on the MT to get an address from my TPLink and it worked. Just make sure to uncheck the options to (1) use the DNS server provided by the DHCP Server (TPLink) and (2) add that as the default route, else your internet bound packets will never go out.
