Accessing Netgear NAS under a different subnet
Hi there, I need some assistance in seting up in accessing the NAS under a different subnet. Internet -> Router 1(Primary) -> Router 2 (Secondary) Router 1 - Linksys 1900ACS (stock firmwa...
I have another pc connected to router which I want to access the nas too. Yes same topology when I add vpn, is there a flaw?
you should be able to connect to nas via ip \\192.168.1.110 if router 2 can be setup in ROUTER mode (not gateway mode). ie turn off NAT on router 2.
but the nas wont' show up in your windows networks because it is on a different broadcast domain.
to show up on your network neighborhood the nas needs to be on the same network and your router is separating the networks..

If he can turn off NAT, then that of course is an option. But even if NAT is on, he can reach it by IP address if the firewall rules are correctly configured.
But why do this with two routers in the first place?

I had a spare router lying around so tot putting it to use, as for the VPN. I didnt want it to enable fully on router 1, not sure on whether I can policy on certain ip address to use the vpn tunnnel thats I tot of using the second router as the VPN router.
I did the port fowarding thing still unsuccessful.
So the goal is to allow the far end devices to access the PCs, but not the NAS?
