Hello everyone.
Got another one of these threads. This time with a bit more experience.
So I had a netgear WNDR 4500 doing ALL of our office wifi. Guest wifi and internal wifi. It was starting to die. My boss order us 2 new linksys ea6500 http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Wireless-Dual-Band-Anywhere-EA6500/dp/B008I21EA2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1428592679&sr=8-2&keywords=ea6500 to really seperate the 2. I set the first one up perfectly.
Our internal IP scheme for this office is 192.168.2.xxx.
1st router:
192.168.2.252 with DHCP off. Our server does the actual DHCP and anyone that connects to this is on our internal network. And is connected with one of the LAN ports onto our main switch. Can connect through my web browser and ping it. Setup PERFECTLY.
2nd router: This will be used for our guest network.
In order to keep this seperate linksys says I have to segment the network. So I changed it to 192.168.100.100. Which protects us from the people connecting on the guest network. But I cannot connect to it through my web browser. Nor can I ping it. Also I have to set this one up on the internet port in order for DHCP to work correctly since I want guests to have IP's that can't connect with us.
I'm assuming I can't ping it because it is using the internet port. Same reason for why I can't connect through web browser? I would like to connect to it through my web browser instead of having to use my phone. Is that possible, or do I have something setup incorrectly?
Any help appreciated. I'm always looking to learn.
