Netgear Orbi RBK852 Static Route not working

Model: RBR850 (main unit of RBK852)

Firmware: V3.2.18.1

 

I have another router (Xiaomi Mi AIoT Router AC2350) on 192.168.1.3 running another subnet under 192.168.2.x. (I do not want them to be on the same network, so nothing about bridge/AP mode).

 

I created a static route with destination 192.168.2.0 and gateway 192.168.1.3, but it does not work to route traffic (for example 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.2.214 is not accessible). Any idea what is wrong?

    Have you tried opening debug screen (192.168.1.1/debug.htm) click on "start capture" and after 10/15 seconds on "save debug file". The archive should contain a file called info.txt with routing table...

    Is your static route present?

     

    P.S. i think your metric should be 1 not 2 (but maybe i'm wrong)

      Hi, thanks for pointing me to debug page, and I do see my static route in the output.

        Netmask is 255.255.255.255 should be 255.255.255.0 (and metric i've seen that netgear wants 2)

        my 850 is in AP mode i've tried to add a static route 192.168.2.0/24:

192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br-guest

        192.168.2.0/24 was overlapping with br-guest (added by orbi automatically) changed the static to 192.168.4.0/24 emd netmask is still correct 

        192.168.4.0     192.168.3.27    255.255.255.0   UG    1      0        0 br-lan
