Issues with Static Routing
Hi everyone,
I'm new to using TP-Link switches. I have a DSL modem with the IP 192.168.18.1, but it doesn't have static route configuration. My network has around 50 users. When the modem gives out DHCP addresses, it crashes after a few hours and needs restarting. My TP-Link switch is unmanaged and in a single VLAN setup, which works okay.
Now, I'm trying to set up two different VLANs:
- VLAN2 with 22 ports
- VLAN1 with 2 ports, where my internet and switch (IP 192.168.18.5) are connected.
When I create another VLAN and turn on DHCP with the IP range 192.168.15.1, the switch starts assigning IPs. But, after I add a static route in the switch with Destination 0.0.0.0 and Next Hop 192.168.18.1 or 18.5, the internet does not work. I can connect to the switch at 192.168.18.5 from VLAN2 but can't reach my DSL modem at 192.168.18.1.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I followed this, the problem is my router/dsl modem does not have an option of static route

Expected.
So you are not using the ER605. You get the IP address and you set up the static routing, these are the correct steps.
But what you miss is the multi-NAT feature which I suppose your router does not support.
Take a look at the FAQ887 and you need to read the part where it mentions the multi-NAT. Configure that on your router.
