Mikrotik assistance

[22Vanquish22]

Hi Guys,

I need help in allowing my Asus router to interact with my server. I'm a noob when it comes to mikrotik.

The asus router has default settings, mikrotik has default settings for now. But I'm unable to ping my server when I'm on wifi or lan on my Asus router which is connected to mikrotik.

I want to keep the same IP ranges. If can have Asus router and Mikrotik interact with each other whereby I can access devices on Asus or vice-versa, that would be cool.

I know this setup is weird but the mikrotik router I got for free lol

I have attached image of the topology.

Any assistance will be much appreciated

I stand corrected, but on the Mikrotik you will need a forward firewall rule that will allow subnet ...50.0/24 through the router.
Chain=forward
Source address=192.168.50.0/24 or use an address list
Action=Accept

You can add destination addresses, protocols, ports if you want to get more specific.

I have a similar setup where I use forward rules for VPN addresses which are on different subnets.

Hope this helps. Hopefully one of the network gurus on here will confirm or adjust as needed.

Thanks for the response, still unable to access my server.

Why on earth would you want to run two LANS as one?

Stop using two routers and two IP ranges on a single network.

Choose which one you want to make a router and then make the other device just a switch/access point.

Connect them all on LAN ports with the same IP ranges and job done.

No double NATs, Double Firewalls and all that pain and trauma.

If you are port forwarding on your internal network then you’ve planned the entire thing wrong.

Do you have routes?
Does the Asus router have a static route for the 192.168.88.0/24 subnet to the mikrotik interface on the asus subnet?

Needing static routes on a home network says you’ve already ****ed up phenomenally.

Fix the cause, don’t address the symptom.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the responses, basically being stupid with my configuration, so I started fresh and bridged the connection allowing the mikrotik to handle switching with NAT and Firewall disabled.

The subnet is now the same as Asus and using the local gateway ip . It's now able to detect the devices on mikrotik also the traffic flow
