I have my ISP gateway (which is a regular wifi router) which is
192.168.178.1
. This is connected to a DD-WRT router (using it's WAN port).
I've had this setup for a while now and pretty much the default settings (Connection type Automatic/DHCP) worked. I set the local IP of the dd-wrt router to 192.168.0.1
and set DHCP to use the 192.168.0.xxx
subnet aswell.
This worked fine and I had an **isolated** subnet. That is: The 192.168.178.xxx
subnet could not access machines on my 192.168.0.1
subnet, including the router, and vice versa.
Now I got a new router, fresh dd-wrt installation, exactly the same settings and subnets, and suddenly I'm able to access 192.168.178.1
from my PC (which is on the dd-wrt subnet).
Which setting is responsible for this, and how do I change that?
Also, the new router displays the ISP router's domain name under WAN domain name
(LAN domain name
is empty). The old dd-wrt router did that too, but devices on the network where **not** on that domain (they were on an empty one instead). Now with this router, devices connected to it are automatically on that domain. I would really like to prevent that aswell.
I hope my question is clear enough, and here are some more of my dd-wrt router's settings:
