Setting up LAN/WAN connection

[KozoleJ]

Hello
I am trying to set up my home network as seen on IMG this is like my mini-project to have the best possible experience of a network at home.
I would like to have my connection set up in this way I know you can turn off DHCP and connect to LAN and all of that but this is more purpose of learning.
My question is can I have routers in this configuration and access the computer on the other side now I can ping it but can't see files.
I have been trying to set the default gateway of the second router(left) to the IP of the first one but it does not work.
Thanks for helping me.

You have two routers set up at home?

Would be better with a managed switch tbh.

Yeah, I have two routers. I was looking into that but I decided not to do it. Do your think my configuration is possible?

I'm assuming PC -> Router LAN -> Router WAN <-> Router WAN <- Router LAN <- PC?

 

In an arrangement like this you would need the ability to configure Static Routing Tables. This way when the first router receives a request with a destination that doesn't exist in your subnet it sends it out the appropriate interface with a destination address of the next router interface. From here the next router looks up if it knows the subnet and forwards the request accordingly.

 

You'll also have to do this in the opposite manor on the other router.

 

In practice though assuming this is fully isolated you're effectively treating the connection between the routers as "The Internet". You could also setup a VPN server on one side, the other, or both sides and access the opposing client through the VPN.
