Unable to see NAS device from WiFi on RB962

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

I have a problem where I am unable to see my NAS as a network device when connected to my network via WiFi. I’ve setup my new RB962.

Here’s my setup…

  • Synology NAS configured with a static ip (192.168.10.3) connected to the LAN

  • Multiple computers connected to LAN using DHCP (address range 192.168.10.100-192.168.10.199)

  • Multiple WiFi devices connected to the WLAN using DHCP (address range 192.168.20.100-192.168.20.199)

From a WiFi connection I am able to connect the NAS via the UI (http://192.168.10.3:5000) and I can ping IP addresses on the LAN from WLAN devices and the other way around, so as far as I can tell the bridges are able to “talk”.

If I change my config and put all interfaces on a single bridge and use the same subnet for both LAN and WLAN things seems to works fine, but I’d like to keep the LAN and WLAN on separate subnets if possible.

I suspect it’s probably some minor configuration that I’ve missed, but what do I know :slight_smile:

I’ve include parts of my configuration below.

Configuration:

/interface bridge
add name=bridge-lan
add name=bridge-wlan

/ip neighbor discovery
set bridge-lan
set bridge-wlan

/ip address
add address=192.168.10.1/24 \
	comment="LAN" \
	interface=bridge-lan \
	network=192.168.10.0
add address=192.168.20.1/24 \
	comment="WLAN" \
	interface=bridge-wlan \
	network=192.168.20.0

/ip pool
add name=dhcp-lan \
	ranges=192.168.10.100-192.168.10.199
add name=dhcp-wlan \
	ranges=192.168.20.100-192.168.20.199

/ip dhcp-server
add address-pool=dhcp-lan \
	disabled=no \
	interface=bridge-lan \
	lease-time=6d \
	name=dhcp-server-lan
add address-pool=dhcp-wlan \
	disabled=no \
	interface=bridge-wlan \
	lease-time=3d \
	name=dhcp-server-wlan

/ip dhcp-server network
add address=192.168.10.0/24 \
	comment="LAN DHCP Server" \
	dns-server=192.168.10.1 \
	gateway=192.168.10.1 \
	netmask=24
add address=192.168.20.0/24 \
	comment="WLAN DHCP Server" \
	dns-server=192.168.20.1 \
	gateway=192.168.20.1 \
	netmask=24

/interface bridge port
add bridge=bridge-lan \
	comment="LAN" \
	interface=ether2-lan-master
add bridge=bridge-wlan \
	comment="WLAN1" \
	interface=wlan1
add bridge=bridge-wlan \
	comment="WLAN2" \
	interface=wlan2

If you mean it doesn’t show in Network in Windows (or other system), it’s to be expected, when it’s in different subnet. Just access it using address like this: \192.168.10.3\ShareName

Thanks Sob for confirming this. I’ve been using the NAS as a Time Machine under OSX with my old router. I’ll give your suggestion a shot.

I’m not friend with OSX (it doesn’t like me more than I don’t like it :wink:), so I can’t help you with details. Look for a way how to mount remote share by IP address and I’m sure you’ll find something.
