Static route with WG302 V2
Hi, I am trying to get a WG302 to work on a different subnet for the wireless. This is how the setup is: WG302 - IP address is 172.16.100.2, DHCP scope is 172.16.100.110 - 254 Default gateway...

main router DHCP 172.16.100. 3~172.16.100.109
and you are trying to use WG302 DHCP 172.16.100.110-254
if this is how you are doing it?
how you are routing...?
The main DHCP is 172.16.1.x which comes from a Win2K3 domain controller. DHCP is configured on the WG302 to provide addresses for 172.16.100.x (wireless subnet).
As far as the firewall/routing goes, it is like this:
Firewall port (172.16.100.1) -| -- | - LAN port on WG302 (172.16.100.2)
172.16.100.1 is configured as the default gateway on the WG302. On the firewall, 172.16.100.1 has a static route in place back to the main subnet, 172.16.1.x. So in theory a wireless client should be able to communicate with local and Internet resources, because the default gateway has a route configured to be able to do so.
Does this clean things up?
