    How to access 2nd router (ASUS RT-AC68U) login page while on main router (Fios G1100) WiFi network?

    No worries, I'm not a fan of the approach either but it appears that snbforums doesn't have a pm system. If you need further explanation of my overall objective in order to recommend another router, it would need to be in private but I think you should have a pretty good idea of what I'm...

    How to access 2nd router (ASUS RT-AC68U) login page while on main router (Fios G1100) WiFi network?

    when I said "any router firmware out there" I meant for any router, not just this model Regarding the "commercial application", I would prefer to PM you to explain but don't see an option for that. I'd rather not reveal my boss's idea in an open forum.

    How to access 2nd router (ASUS RT-AC68U) login page while on main router (Fios G1100) WiFi network?

    If you mean the Asus, it just happens to be the router I have to test with right now. Not sure if you noticed this part of my earlier post but I am looking for ANY router firmware out there with this capability. Obviously it needs to support openvpn as well. I do like the VPN support on this...

    There is a commercial application behind my efforts here so need to get it done with one router.

    How to access 2nd router (ASUS RT-AC68U) login page while on main router (Fios G1100) WiFi network?

    @Val D. I would settle for all wired ports or even no wired ports but just a separate SSID that is VPN which it sounds like can be done, but the ideal scenario (as @ColinTaylor was saying) would be to separate out the individual ethernet ports and have 2 wired VPN poort and 2 wired WAN ports...

    VPN-Client only for specific LAN-Port

    @Martineau That looks cool, but can I inject that code on the stock AC86U firmware or does it have to be the asus-merlin? Where do I put this code? I prefer the stock firmware because not only is it much easier to add a new vpn profile (different server location), but it is also much quicker...

    How to access 2nd router (ASUS RT-AC68U) login page while on main router (Fios G1100) WiFi network?

    I don't have any port forwarding rules on the Asus. I just gave the SSH a try with both a random port and with the standard SSH port 22 and both still showed as blocked with the port checker. It's not looking very hopeful at least not with this C2000a ISP router. So now my next question is -...

    VPN-Client only for specific LAN-Port

    oh,ok. i will check that out. So no good on assigning specific ports?

    How to access 2nd router (ASUS RT-AC68U) login page while on main router (Fios G1100) WiFi network?

    Please please please STOP lecturing me on the risk!! I am well aware of the risk!! I don't keep RDP open, I only opened it to test if my ISP router was properly forwarding ports. I don't need to remotely access my router GUI, I live in my house with my router. I can access the GUI anytime I...

    VPN-Client only for specific LAN-Port

    I don't see how this is a simple solution. First I have to set up a vpn server? Then when I need normal WAN I have to log in to my router and connect the server? Yes, running the vpn on a pc would probably be the quickest way, although not much quicker than disabling my ethernet connection and...

    VPN-Client only for specific LAN-Port

    @Jack Yaz I like what @s25a is getting at here. I know I can set rules for certain devices or ip's to use the VPN and others to use the normal WAN but I am looking to do what the op suggested in the first place - have a specific LAN port or maybe all wired LAN ports dedicated to VPN and the...

    How to access 2nd router (ASUS RT-AC68U) login page while on main router (Fios G1100) WiFi network?

    I turned off the firewall because just trying to connect locally from a different subnet using the LAN ip would only work with the firewall off. the public ip is good. remote desktop works. I've tried many different ports and called my isp. they said they don't block those ports on their end...

    How to access 2nd router (ASUS RT-AC68U) login page while on main router (Fios G1100) WiFi network?

    ok well security aside, if port forwarding isn't changing the protocol, then shouldn't this work same as accessing a pc with remote desktop? I have the asus set up for Remote Access from WAN with a port assigned (lets call it port xxxx) The WAN ip address of the Asus is on the same subnet as the...

    How to access 2nd router (ASUS RT-AC68U) login page while on main router (Fios G1100) WiFi network?

    I am using RT-AC86U with the latest stock firmware. I use it as a VPN Client router. I now am able to access the gui using the WAN ip address (I wasn't using https before so that is why it was only working with the LAN ip) but I still can't get to it from the web even with a port forwarded...

    How to access 2nd router (ASUS RT-AC68U) login page while on main router (Fios G1100) WiFi network?

    What I am really looking to do though is access the asus gui from the internet! Is this even possible? If I could get to it with the WAN ip like you said I should, then I could simply forward a port to that ip on the primary router since its on the same subnet. The primary router won't let me...
