Hi

I have got this scenario Netgear CG814WG cable wireless modem connected (does not have VPN feature) to a VPN router (Netgear FSV318)

Cable wireless modem on 10.10.0.1 and its LAN ip address are : 10.10.0.30/24-10.10.0.100/24 (DHCP range) ,,,,one of its LAN ports (4 ports) is connected to VPN router (Netgear FSV318).

WAN port for VPN router (Netgear FSV318) is 10.10.0.20 , and its gateway address is 10.10.0.1

LAN (8 ports) ip addresses for VPN router (Netgear FSV318) are DHCP range : 192.168.0.30/24 - 192.168.0.100/24.

HP printers (startic address 192.168.0.23) and Desktop (dynamic address) are connected to VPN router (Netgear FSV318).

Laptop is connected wirelessly (not wired) to the cable wireless modem,,,,,,,,,,,,,means laptop has an ip address of type 10.10.0.x,,,,wireless it has to have ip address of type 10.10.0.x

The reason I have this setting because cable wireless modem, does not have VPN capabilities unlike Netgear FSV318.

How can I connect my laptop to the printer ?

How can I share folders on my desktop with laptop ?

Note: I can not set Cable wireless modem to bridge mode.

Thanks
 
Does the netgear modem have any kind of option to add routes?

I was not able to find that in its below manual
Code:

Why not change the IP of the printer to 10.10.0.23?

The printer is connected to the Netgear FSV318 (i.e subnet 192.168.0.0/24)

How can I change that from 192.168.0.0/24 to 10.10.0.0/24 ??

Yes I can change that if I connected the printer directly to Cable modem router , but then we would have a problem that desktop and printer will be on two different subnets.

Another idea might be to disable NAT on the VPN router and change the lan ip to the same range as the cable modem.

Yes Amida I would have done that not by disabling NAT.But by connecting LAN port on the cable modem to the LAN port (not WAN port) of the VPN router and it worked.

But I would like to know how can we make it work if we have it on different subnets
