Hi all!

I have 2 ISPs with their own routers.

Router A: 192.168.0.1/24

Router B: 192.168.20.1/24

I have my servers plugged into Router A and all my endpoint and users’ devices connected to Router B.

I want users connected to Router B (192.168.20.1/24) to have access to server 192.168.0.90

I thought plugging a LAN cable and connecting Router A and Router B and then defining static routes in both routers would solve the issue.

However, at the first step itself I have an issue. When connecting the routers via a LAN cable, both routers dont get any IP.

I was also referring to this post on superuser. Though Router B is capable of creating subnet and static route, I am not sure if Router A (Archer XR500v) is capable of creating a subnet and/or a static route.

    Wouldn’t it be easier just to put both routers on the same IP range and just set the gateway on the clients to be whichever router you wanted to provide internet access?

    You might want to disable DHCP on the non-favoured one.

      This is the way I ended up doing it.

      Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. :)
