Netgear R6260 Static Internal Route
Hey all, I am having a bit of an issue with my home/office network. I work from home and recently setup a segrated home office. My 'net facing router is a R6260. Works well and haven't had any co...

Those are actually not the IP subnets I am using. The specific IP subnets I am using are irrelevent to my issue. Esp given my network is nat'ed out to the world. (It would be an issue if my final subnet uses a public IP space, but it does not).
My issue boils down to this.
Subnet "A", is connected to my ISP is using a Netgear R6260. The inside interface of the Netgear R6260 is x.x.x.1. Subnet "A" can access the internet without issue.
Subnet "B", is connected to Subnet "A" by a Linksys E900. It's WAN interface is configured statically with IP address x.x.x.2. It's inside interface is configured as y.y.y.1. Subnet "B" cannot access the internet.
The Netgear R6260 has a static route configured for y.y.y.#/24 subnet with a gateway of x.x.x.2.
Hosts on subnet "A" and "B" can access each other. This was verified via ping, tracert, rdp and ssh.
Subnet "A" and "B" both have DNS servers. Both use root hints for final lookup. Subnet "A" DNS servers resolve addresses as expected. Subnet "B" DNS servers cannot resolve anything external to their database.
