Hi all,
I nested 4 routers based on the article:
Access Point (AP) instructions

My routers IP's:
Main router ( which is also modem ) 10.0.0.138
Main router DHCP: 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.128

Secondary router IP: 10.0.0.136
Third router IP: 10.0.0.137
Forth router IP: 10.0.0.201
All the nested routers (2,3,4) have DHCP disabled, and the cable between them and the main router is via one of the LAN ports (1).

From the application "Advanced IP Scanner", I can see them marked as working (blue, and not grey icon)
But when I'm trying to access them, to their HTTP page, I can't.
big-note - I can access the main router HTTP page.

Any help would be great. I do want to have all 4 routers's web pages in case I need to support them.

The General Questions forum is not for asking for help.

See the forum guidelines, link in my signature at the bottom.

What routers and what builds?

Did you set Gateway and Local dns to the primary router?

Well, it's more a general question, and not depends on the router firmware/manufacture or version.

If this question was about the nested routers, yes.
They all have the GW 10.0.0.138 ( primary router ) and local DNS, I think I set it to Google (8.8.8.8).
Should it be also 10.0.0.138?

The extra routers are connected LAN-LAN with the main router, so they are not nested.

There's an announcement at the top of the General forum that specifically says that the General Forum is not for help:

Announcement: STOP!-READ FIRST: This area is NOT for router help! READ!
