Model: Archer AX21  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

So I have a system set up sharing internet to a several buildings on my property. I have the internet from the ISP connect to an Archer A10 with a public WAN IP and the LAN 192.168.0.1. Five routers are connected to it with their own subnet.

 

Router 1 (Archer AX21): WAN IP 192.168.0.2, LAN 192.168.1.1

Router 2 (Archer AX21): WAN IP 192.168.0.3, LAN 192.168.2.1

Router 3 (Archer AX10): WAN IP 192.168.0.4, LAN 192.168.3.1

Router 4 (Archer AX10): WAN IP 192.168.0.5, LAN 192.168.4.1

Router 5 (Archer AX10): WAN IP 192.168.0.6, LAN 192.168.5.1

 

From a PC on the main network with IP 192.168.0.10, I am able to ping routers 3-5 with their WAN IP, but not routers 1-2. All routers have Ping from WAN enabled in their settings. I also set up a port forwarding entry to create a routing protocol between each router and the main router in both directions. Any explanation as to why I can't ping those two routers?

If your PC is on the main network with IP 192.168.0.10, you should be able to ping every other router's WAN IP address, suppose you have enabled ' Ping from WAN '.

You don't need any ports open or static routes configured for this purpose.

You probably have an ethernet switches. Test ping to every router, directly connected to your main router to pinpoint the issue source.
