TD8840T with TL-WDR4300 -> 2 subnets issue (192-168.0/1.x)
Region : Others
Model : TD-8840T
Hardware Version : V4
Firmware Version : 0.8.0.4 v0007.0 141022
ISP : South Africa Afrihost / Telkom
Hi there
I am new to the forum, many thanks in advance for any help!
After my old Nedgear wireless modem router packed up I've got myself the separate modem router (TD-8840T, newest firmware) and the wireless router (TL-WDR4300, newest firmware), in case either internet performance or wireless performance would be an issue. Everything is connected and setup as per defaults (TD8840T LAN1 to TLWDR4300 WAN), and in principle works well. However, I cound't resolve the following as yet:
1. I loose out on available LAN ports on the TD8840T as it is on a different subnet (192.168.1.x). I can connect a device and it would have access to the internet, but I can't see it from within the wireless network (192.168.0.x).
2. I have a security system (Paradox), which can be managed remotely via apps. It requires port forwarding, which I set up accordingly (ports 80 and 10000).
2a. If I connect the paradox CAT5 to the modem router it can call out and reaches the app via the paradox server; however, I can't see it locally as it is on a diferrent subnet.
2b. If I connect the paradox CAT5 to the wireless router I can see it locally, but it doesn't manage to call out despite port forwarding. I haven't figured out why.
I tried to get all equipment onto one subnet by disabling DHCP on one side with only the other being the router, connected LAN to LAN instead of LAN to WAN, but it doesn't work well. Either internet connecting wouldn't work any more, or the paradox could still not get out etc.
What's the best config for the above situation, is it possible to have all in one subnet?
Again, many thanks for any assistance!
