wifi double nat

RouterOS General

Hello all!!
Here is a basic setup of what I have

I have a question. I just purchased a RB493G router. I set up the wifi with for the 192.168.2.0 network. On ether9 I set the IP to 192.168.1.227 for my regular LAN network. In order for me to get internet access I had to add a nat on the RB493G router.

This gives me a double nat. I am fine with this but I wanted to know if there is another way to get internet access without the nat on the Mircotik router? Can I just update my routes rules?

Before I created the nat I could see the request going out my untangle server but the replay would never make it back.

Thanks.

That you need NAT very, very strongly indicates that the Untangle server doesn’t have a route back to 192.168.2.0/24 via 192.168.1.227. I know you said you added one, but double check that.

Also check that the Untangle server is set up to NAT 192.168.2.0/24 out its WAN interface and isn’t restricted to just running NAT for 192.168.1.0/24.

In short: whatever is wrong needs to be fixed on the Untangle server.
