I am trying to connect another router to my sky sr102 (black version) so I can use my sky router as the guest network and the asus as the full router, so anyone who is logged onto the sky router cannot access my network / sharing devices / chromecast

I have got a asus ac56 and changed the ip address on this to 192.168.1.1 and the sky router is 192.168.0.1

I have connected my Ethernet lead from the lan port on my sky router to wan port on the asus, I have entered the below for a static ip but I cant get any internet via the asus

ip address - 192.168.1.145
gateway & dns - 192.168.1.254

Is this correct ??
 
Oh right, double NAT maybe an issue then as I have two kids with xbox 1 and ps4.

Just thought it would be easy to link another router and give it a guest account, so my kids friends cannot access my media drive from their phones.

I've tried the guest network on the Asus, and it offers complete isolation from the main network. So sticking the Asus in AP mode will be best.

While the Sky router is on 192.168.0.1, set the Asus to AP mode and give it something like 192.168.0.2. Then use the guest network feature on the Asus and set it however it suits your needs. That way you can also use the main Asus Wi-Fi as an extension to your Sky Wi-Fi if you wish to.

oh right. that sounds like a good idea so would you suggest turning the wifi off on the sky router and have it all on the asus. would this way be fine for ps4 and xbox 1 using the wifi as i just hear people on about double nat
 
ok, I have now set it to ap mode and everything seems to work, but I cant login to my asus now,

I have used the asus network device deiscovery and that says its ip address is 10.0.0.1 but still cant login to the router to access the user account
 
Right. Resetting the router has now all worked and with ip address of 192.168.0.2 enabled guest network. But when i log in to guest network i Can still cast to all my devices.

I am sure i read somewhere that guest network will not isolate if the router is in ap mode

Back to the drawing board
 
All i have is a lan cable from wan port on the asus to the lan port on the sky router. Everything is connected to the asus and not the sky router. I have disabled wifi on the sky router as well
