LAN access not going both ways

2022-02-02 10:21:43 - last edited 2022-02-17 11:13:47

Model: Archer AX6000

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.2.4

Please see the Google Slide.

My Mac (192.168.0.0 / 24 subnet) can see machines on 192.168.1.0 / 24 subnet but the opposite direction does not work.
My PC (192.168.1.0 / 24 subnet) can not access any machines in 192.168.0.1 subnet.

I know if I set the AX6000 to bridge mode, everything is on the same subnet but that's not what I want.
I want to use the AX6000 to be in router mode for security reasons.

Thank you.

@oldy

For this to work you really need AX6000 set in AP mode - Case 1.

Thus both routers would be in the same subnet (192.168.1.0/24) hence you'll be able to communicate in both ways.

The way you're trying won't work when using AX6000 in router mode (default).

Devices in 192.168.0.0/24 are not visible from 192.168.1.0/24 because of the second NAT introduced in AX6000.

You could set a DMZ in the AX6000 to your MAC LAN IP address.

You could also set (in ISP router) a static route for 192.168.0.0/24 on its LAN interface with GW 192.168.1.125.

That would help for accessing particular services running on your MAC computer (pings, remote access, web services, etc.) from your PC.

If you want to benefit from file sharing between PC and MAC then AX6000 in AP mode is the only way to go.
