| Oct 13, 2019 at 16:29 | comment | added | acejavelin | If router 2's internet port is connected to the LAN of R1, all anyone on R2 needs to know is the IP address scheme of the LAN of R1. To R2, your R1 LAN subnet is the Internet, so they can access everything in it as if they were connected directly to it. Simple IP routing says so unless you have made some very specific changes not common in home routers. For example, if my IP on R2 is 10.0.0.10 and your printer on R1 is 192.168.1.50, I can access that directly because R2 will happily route to that device as it knows exactly where it is. Your R1 LAN however knows nothing of 10.0.0.10. | |

| Oct 8, 2019 at 14:20 | comment | added | acejavelin | This is actually a terrible solution... You are giving everyone on the second router full access to everything on the first router's network, and no one on the first router's network can access anything on the second. Unless you have client isolation on the IP address assigned to the second router... | |
