I have 2 routers(Asus-Merlin and Orbi) connected to an ONT that gives 2 different public facing IP. I would like devices from both network to be able to see and talk to each other. I suppose that means using static routes however there is no way for my routers to use the ONT as the middle man for both routers as it seems it can only act as a middle man for my routers to my ISP.
Internal networking
Asus is using 192.168.50.x
Orbi is using 192.168.1.x
After linking them up, I tried to look for the DHCP address so that I can attempt to do the static route but there is no such device listed. I check my Asus log and found that it's reporting this error repeatedly,
Mar 13 14:37:24 kernel: br1: received packet on eth0.v0 with own address as source address
Removing the cable connecting them both will stop this error.
using ifconfig shows
br1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx
inet addr:121.x.x.x Bcast:121.x.x.x Mask:255.255.255.0 (showing the exact same IP on my router WAN IP)
UP BROADCAST RUNNING ALLMULTI MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets: errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets: errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
Is there any way for the devices on the 2 routers to talk to each as I'm personally using Asus but my printer is located on the Orbi.
