WUG&Internet setup

Support General
1

Hi guys,

This is my first post so please be kind if I missed some info.

I’m struggling to setup my network at home.

Side note everything is working from the WUG side and internet side, but not together.

Home network(and internet) - 192.168.1.1-100 / TPlink 192.168.1.200
Mikrotik Wug - 172.26.21.110

I would like to join the networks so that my wug pc has internet too, but i have no clue how to achieve that. I have tried the method of adding two ip addresses to one nic in windows, but its at the gateway’s where it gets screwy.

I have read the wiki and some of the most common setups via this forum, but i don’t find the answer i’m looking for. I know each setup is different, but i wish we could get a writeup for this type of setup. I’m sure the guru’s get these questions quite a bit. Changing my home network over to the 172 range and having only 4 IP’s isn’t ideal.

Pls help?

Thanks razor1, i did read this one: https://wiki.ctwug.za.net/wiki/Internet_and_WUG_Routing , but it wants you to change your home network over to the wug addresses and then you’ll have only 4 available IP’s.

The other link is forbidden?

The forbidden link is accessible via Intranet :slight_smile:

I’m at work now, with only internet. Gives an nginx forbidden error, so must be server side?

No you need to access it via home PC.

It has a rule that allows 172.x.x.x only

Yeah WUG only pages. When you’re on the page you’ll see why.

the guide is rather self explanatory i think, use ur wug ip range as ur network range for ur home pcs and adsl router, add a default route to ur mikrotik and pooof magic! I do think the whole private ip range for home + nat for wug is a better solution cause sometimes people do dump stuff and on their machines and cause all sorts crap that could affect the rest of the network. Granted Nat does require some work, time and effort so keep it simple i guess.

I managed to get it working from my wug pc with this route added in windows:

route -p add 172.16.0.0 mask 255.240.0.0 172.26.21.xxx < WUG RB IP

Ethernet - WUG
WIFI - Internet

Thanks @razor1

If I add this route in mikrotik then it says that the WUG RB IP is not reachable.

Once I get it figured out, I will write a how to.
