I'm trying to create two wireless networks in my house, that would provide the client devices different ip address ranges and DNS settings, depending on which network they connect to.
My current setup involves the following hardware:
1xVirgin Media Super(?)Hub 1xNetgear WGR614v9
the superhub:
- has a wireless SSID of "wifi-super"
- is the only device connected to the internet cable
- has a LAN IP of 192.168.0.1
- Is a DHCP server, with the range of: 192.168.0.20 to 192.168.0.50
- provides the client devices with the default DNS servers for VM (can't be changed in router!)
the WGR:
- has a wireless SSID of "wifi-other"
- is connected to the superhub via an Ethernet cable from one of it's hub ports (not modem port) to a hub port on the superhub
- has a LAN IP of 192.168.1.1
- Is a DHCP server, with the range of: 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150
- should provide it's clients with the google DNS servers
- should provide it's clients with the gateway IP of 192.168.0.1
So, with this set up, I'm expecting that:
if I connect to "wifi-main", I would get a 192.168.0.xxx IP address, with the virgin media dns servers, and 192.168.0.1 as the default gateway.
If I connect to "wifi-other", I would get a 192.168.1.xxx IP address, with the google dns servers, and 192.168.0.1 as the default gateway.
Point 1 is working as expected, but point 2 is not. When I connect to "wifi-other", I'm being provided an ip in the 192.168.0.xxx range, with all the other details specified by the superhub - not the WGR.
Please can you advise what I can do to achieve my desired result, or explain what I'm doing wrong, as I thought this would work... :/
Cheers in advance!
seems I was so close originally :) I'll give this a crack in a few and if it works (which it sounds like it will), I'll mark it as the answer. Either way, thanks for the detailed response - appreciated! – Sk93 – 2012-11-08T21:21:29.940
