2 routers, 2 subnets - static route?

[trek_520]

Hi,

Here is what i am trying to do - this may not be real world.

Router A - AC66U
Cable modem connected here
192.168.1.1
255.255.255.0

Router B
connected from AC66U's Lan Port to Router B WAN port
192.168.88.1
255.255.255.0
NAT is on

When I am connected to router B, I can see router A and all the hosts on 192.168.1.1. I can get to the internet - so all works OK.

From A PC on 192.168.1.x I want to get to the router (or other assets eventually) on 192.168.88.x.

I tried setting up a static route and got nothing. What do I need to do to make this work.

I wonder if I need to change the firewall settings on router B to accept the traffic? Do I need a static route?

I realize the most of the time you are doing this to segment networks to prevent exactly what I am trying to do. Eventually it will be used this way. But from a PC on 192.168.1.x I still need to get to the 192.168.88.1 router for configuration.

Thanks in advance.

I've setup a similar network sometime back.. First add a static route from A to B then disable firewall/nat on B.

Only drawback is getting Nat loopback to work on A in order to access services using your WAN IP from within the network.
