Good morning all!!

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum but please move if so.



My set up currently consists of ISP -> Edgemax poe 5 port router, which has 2 lan enabled to avoid s/w bridging. LAN1 is feeding a tp link switch for the wired devices, while LAN2 is set up with 2,3,4 each supplying poe to 3 wifi access points around the house that supply various wifi devices. I purchased the edgerouter specifically for its 48V poe facility so that i could do away with the poe adapters.

However, i now have the issue where the two LANS dont talk to each other, and my printer, internet radios, tv etc which is connected to the tp link switch, i cannot connect wirelessly via mobile phone or laptop etc to the printer etc etc on the wired network.

Is there a simple solution to this?

I would like to set this via the GUI if possible , however, if it necessary to purchase a bigger switch with 48V poe then so be it!

I hope that make sense!

Thanks in advance.

Did you post on Ubiquiti site?
This sounds like firewall rules on the UBNT. The real simple solution is use ports 2, 3, 4 as they are in the same subnet by default.
 
Why don't you configure all the ports in LAN1? Then sharing is no a problem. If you are going to configure them in separate networks you will need to configure the sharing at layer 3 in the router.
I would think the easy solution is reconfigure your router from scratch to where all ports are in the same LAN.

PS
You could just move the switch (if it has poe or use an adapter ) over one of the wireless ports and plug the wireless into the switch and not use the LAN1 port.

I have 2 LANs and VPN that my mikrotik routerboard manages. The only problem is that one of the network gateway is my ISPs so i have to set static routes for my network devices or use 2 interfaces (in linux you can use virtual interfaces). Even than for anything handled by my router the routes automatically pop up in it that layer 3 routing works straight away. i can also create rules that allow forwarding between them to make sure they can communicate.
