I have 4 routers in my home network, 2 G and 2 N.
#1 - verizon westell DSL modem/G wireless router combo 192.168.1.1, DHCP, stock firmware. LAN connected to PC, NAS, network printer and 192.168.1.3 router.
#2 - linksys G-wireless router 192.168.1.2 as a client bridge on DD-WRT connected to 192.168.1.1 wirelessly, no DHCP. LAN connected to 3 network printers.
#3 - TP-link 841ND on N-wireless only 192.168.1.3, connected to 192.168.1.1 via LAN, no DHCP, stock firmware
#4 - TP-link 841ND on N-wireless only 192.168.1.4 as a bridge, connected to 192.168.1.3 wirelessly via stock firmware WDS, no DHCP. LAN connected to home theatre network A/V receiver, digital media player, pogoplug with samba and HTPC.
I have a new Dell laptop that can run on g/n. When I am connected to the network on G (to 192.168.1.1), I can ping all 4 routers and any devices connected to them. When I am connected to network on N (to 192.168.1.3), I can ping 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2 and any devices connected to these 2 g-routers, and only 192.168.1.3 and the LAN connected devices. When I ping 192.168.2.4, I get
reply from 192.168.1.216: destination host unreachable.
(192.168.1.216 is the Dell laptop's ip address)
Also all my android phones and tablets if connected via N-wireless will not be able to see the upnp devices connected to 192.168.1.4. I am not sure why this is happening. I am getting to a point that I want to install DD-WRT on the 192.168.1.4 router and hope that it will work.
Does anyone know if it is just some setting I might have not done right on the #4 router? I asked TP-link and tech support didn't help, just pointed me to FAQ.
