Two routers on same subnet

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Recently I decided to add a wireless unit to the back side of my house. This router is an rb133 and the main router is a 533 board. I have the system working with full internet access, but the wireless unit is issuing IP address on a seperate subnet than all of my wired units making print sharing a nightmare. I would like for someone to help me get the wireless units on the same subnet. My configuration is as listed below.

RB533
Ether1 is a DHCP client receiving a 192.168.1.2/24,Network=192.168.1.0,Broadcast=192.168.1.255 address from my DSL Modem
I also have a IP address of 192.168.1.1/24 Network192.168.1.254 Broadcast = 192.168.1.255 assigned to Ether1. (Simply because I could not get the DHCP client to give me the correct Gateway of 192.168.1.254, my lack of knowledge. If i disable this, all internet connection is lost.)


Ether2 & Ehter3 are bridged together to create Bridge1 with an IP address of 192.168.2.254/24 Network=192.168.2.0,Broadcast=192.168.2.255

Bridge1 is a DHCP Server issuing address from dhcp_pool1 with a range of 192.168.2.100 - 192.168.2.200

Wlan1 is disabled

Routes
0.0.0.0/0 192.168.1.254 ether1
192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.1 ether1
192.168.2.0/24 192.168.2.254

RB133
Ether1 is a DHCP client receiving a 192.168.2.197/24 Network=192.168.2.0 Broadcast=192.168.2.255

Ether2 & Ether3 are bridged together to create Bridge1 with an IP address of 192.168.3.254/24 Network=192.168.3.0 Broadcast=192.168.3.255

Bridge1 is a DHCP Server issuing IP Address of 192.168.3.100-192.168.3.200


Ether1 is hard wired cat5 from Bridge1 of the rb533 router.

Routes
0.0.0.0/0 192.168.2.254
192.168.2.0/24 192.168.2.198
192.168.3.0/24 192.168.3.254





Any idea how to get the RB133 Wireless on the 192.168.2.xx subnet so that my print sharing will work properly? I attempted this but I kept getting a message that any IP I issued was already in use.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings!

Take a look at
/ip firewall nat print
There should be a rule like
chain=srcnat action=masquerade out-interface=ether1

Then you should remove the static IP assignment on ether1. Let your ISP give you that stuff. You could cause him some grief.

Just in case anyone would like to know, I figured this out. The trick was to turn off the DCHP on router number 2 and create a bridge on router 2 between Ether1 (DHCP Client from router1) and WLAN1. This allowed all of my wireless clients on router 2 to receive a DHCP assignment directly from Router 1 keeping everything on the same subnet and restoring all of my print sharing capabilities.

Hope this helps someone else.
