Question

Here is my situation: I have a nicely running multi-node network which I am quite happy with. Then I come across this WiFi device that can only be assigned an address in the the 192.168.x.x range as well as not supporting the use of a router, meaning that anything trying to access it must be on the same subnet.

Does anyone have a creative solution to making this device accessible, maybe with a NAT setup so it appears to the rest of the network as a routable IP in my existing range?

In addition, how can I provide a WiFi AP for this device, using its supported IP range, while also providing WiFi for regular clients on a different subnet?

Thanks for all your ideas!

Hi,

You have not specified which router you are using. On any Teltonika router, you can change the LAN ip. https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUT955_LAN

That’s not the issue. But I am using an RUTX11.

Hi. You can configure the network 192.168.*.0/24 on the LAN interface. At the same time, you can have any network used in your topology on the WAN. To access the device from LAN, you can configure Port Forwarding. https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/RUTX11_Firewall#Port_Forwards

For each WiFi network, the ip range specified for the LAN zone associated with it is used. This article should help https://wiki.teltonika-networks.com/view/How_to_set_up_a_guest_WiFi_network_on_RUTX
