    tried it again a number of times using the last Merlin firmware for the 66U- NAT has to be enabled, firewall disabled on the 66U and static route active on the 68U in order to get the internet working on the 66U and to be able to access the win client on the 66U network. Thanks anyway.

    OK understand now OK now I get it. I see the WAN address on the AC66U as 192.168.26.234 and I have set that as a static route on the AC68U as 192.168.28.0 -> gateway = 192.168.26.234 -> metric 1 -> Lan. Still same result - no traffic unless NAT is enabled on the WAN page on the AC66U

    maybe I am not understanding this right but the AC66U does not have a WAN IP - it is sharing the WAN from the AC68U Network 1 (AC68U has a gateway of 192.168.26.1 and has the WAN interface to the ISP router) and Network 2 (AC66U) has a gateway of 192.168.28.1)

    I have a static route enabled on router 1 (RT-AC68U) as 192.168.28.0 - gateway 192.168.26.1, metric 1, LAN which currently allows me to 'see' the 2nd network devices.

    Just tried it again - turned NAT off on the 2nd router (AC66U)and there is no internet on the 2nd router network :(

    That's really good of you to provide that outline. Lots to consider there and I will have time over the Xmas break to hopefully delve into this. I have achieved scenario one now with using the info Colin provided, having the static route from router 1 to router 2 (for the RDP access) and...

    agreed Colin - when I tried the wan port on the AC66U it didn't work. However I've since realised it is because NAT was off on the AC66U and I have sorted it now that NAT is turned on. Thanks

    I've got the internet on network 2 working now via sharing the WAN from network 1 - I had to connect the lan cable to lan port 1 on the AC66U then in Dual Wan, set the Primary WAN option to Ethernet Lan on Lan port 1

    No problem. Clients on network 2 cannot seem to get to the internet which is hosted on network 1 despite them both being connected via lan. Should this just work out of the box? I will look look at AIProtection thanks

    Thanks for your reply Colin What do I need to do on the AC66U to be able to see the internet which is currently only accessible on the AC68U? in terms of squid I was hoping that I could log traffic as well as provide finer control over what http site traffic is allowed (unless there is...

    Hi Guys, I need to protect my main home network from my son's increasing gaming/network app activities etc etc and have a spare older RT-AC66U lying around. Here is the current arrangement: Internet -> ISP router -> WAN port of RT-AC68U (192.168.26.x) -> Lan port -> separate 18 port switch ->...
