Model: Archer BE6500  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.7

I'm installing a BE9700 on an internal network and want the wifi LAN side to be on a seprate subnet from the main WAN subnet.

The main WAN 'Internet' connection is on subnet 192.168.1.x and I want to have the wifi 'LAN' devices on subnet 192.168.4.x.

So far nothing has worked successfully and have been unable to access the wifi devices on the 192.168.4.x subnet from devices on the 192.168.1.x subnet.

So far I've tried:

  • setting the Internet IP address to the 192.168.1.x subnet and the LAN IP address to the 192.168.4.x subnet
  • using both Dynamic and Static IP address configurations.
  • setting the Operation mode to 'Wireless Mode' and 'Access Point Mode'.  With 'Access Point' mode I can ping the wifi devices but they have IP addresses on the 192.168.1.x subnet and not on the 192.168.4.x subnet.
  • setting a static route between 192.168.1.x and 192.168.4.x

 

I've Factory Reset multiple times using a trial-and-error guessing approach to a successful configuration.

 

Any thoughts, suggestions or guidance is deeply appreciated.

I do not think that router by itself will do it. 
 

As I understand, you need a router that supports multi-nat. Also TP Link shows using a ethernet router that supports multi-nat infront of a router. 
 

just google multiple subnets using multi-nat.
