Hi.

Attached is an overview of my network.

In the Asus RT-AC56U router there are 2 static routes defined.

In the TP LInk Archer C2 router there is 1 static route defined.

From PC A i can ping PC B but i cannot ping PC C.

From PC B i can ping PC C.

The firewalls on both routers are disabled.

I need access to PC C from PC A.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

I'm guessing that the Eagle router does not know how to get to 192.168.0.0/24.

Why so many routers? Just use VLANs, far easier.
Sadly neither of the routers support vlans.
Routers are used to seperate my home network from a plc training network and arduino training network.
 
You don't learn anything valuable about networking by bodging a load of consumer trash together either. They often will only see a static route as being on the LAN side, and will NAT everything going out the WAN, with no option to change that.

Thanks. It seems I have learned something then.
 
can you do a trcaert from PC C To PC A and see where the packet is dropped

on the TP Link router, what is the next hop for addresses outside of the 192.168.10.0/24 subnet
 
Asus router needs to be told where to route 10.1.2.0; you've declared next hop on each routing segment but depending on the source segment the route will follow default, unless explicitly stated with a static route.

So the Asus router needs to be told to route 10.1.2.0/24 via the TPlink router.

Trace route from pc C shows unreachable.

The eagle router settings are

This is after doing a factory reset. So no firewall settings are applied.
Do i need some extra routes in the eagle setup?
 
Yes you are correct. I mistakenly thought that if I could successfully ping from pc B to pc C that there must be route back.
Could you please advise on what additional routes I need in the eagle router.
 
Trace route from pc C is better now , but still not pinging.

Can someone tell me if these untrusted and trusted packet filters will allow ping requests through the firewall ?
