Hi, I like to to see what devices are online using named devices associated with MAC/ IP address.
I noticed recently that some but not all devices that are connected to a guest network 192.168.101.x or 102.x (101 or 102 dependent on 2.4 or 5Ghz) are available to be assigned static IPs.
If my main Network is 192.168.1.x (say) and my allocated DHCP range is 192.168.1.20-192.168.1.80 (say), can I assign these Guest Devices on 101 or 102 an IP address in the 192.168.1.10x etc range (outside DHCP) i.e. of the main network?
If this is possible, are they just connected to the Guest Wi-Fi SSID but assigned a main wifi IP address?
What happens if e.g. I have Google Chromecast device that must be in the same network to cast and say a phone is connected on the Guest Wi-Fi but on on 192.168.101.x and the Chromecast is also on the same guest Wi-Fi but (now) assigned (by me) a Static IP of 192.168.1.10x, can they actually talk to each other i.e does this “same network” mean same the Wi-Fi or does it mean the same IP range?
thank you
