I'd use the routers as WAPs (google that) so that LAN concepts like UPNP work.
Can someone help suggest how i might setup 2 routers on my network and have all the devices on both routers see each other via UPNP?
Here is my issue and what i have done. I have my internet connection terminated to router in the upstairs of my house. I have tried to use wireless allow devices downstairs (smart tv, xbox, etc.) to get the connection, but none of the wireless routers i have tried work well enough. so i ran a physical cat6 ether net cable through the walls to the downstairs and i have a second router there that i plugged the ethernet cat6 cable into (into wan port).
So router #1 which is directly connected to my ISP - is gateway ip address 192.168.0.1 with default subnet of 255.255.255.0
i have router #2 connected into a ethernet port of router #1 and router #1 has issues an ip address of 192.168.0.35 to router #2.
My gateway ip address on router #2 is 192.168.1.1 and all the devices including smart tv are getting an IP address of 192.168.1.x from router #2.
I have a NAS setup and connected to my network by an ethernet connection to router#1 and the NAS has all my movies/videos and my media player.. on the downstairs router i can no longer add video folders using the media player installed on my smart tv because apparently i order for UPNP to work the devices must be on the same network.
I am hoping there is a way with some network routing/configuration magic that this router #2 can either use the same IP addresses (and somehow let router #1 be the dhcp server) so that all the UPNP devices can see each other on the same network.
I believe that UPNP is not working to find my media server now, because it is on one network with an ip base address of 192.168.0.1 and my smart tv that i'm trying to add media folders to via UPNP is on the other network with network base ip address of 192.168.1.1
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
