As for Guest LAN, I would use double NAT for this (one router behind another router), both in Gateway mode, not router mode. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware? I suggest reading it all.

When I connect to my main network (router) 192.168.1.4 I can not see my second router 192.168.3.1. Now when I connect to the second router 192.168.3.1, I can see my main router. Was it a bug?

As far as I understand, you have daisy chained the routers i.e. connected LAN<>WAN
There is always access from downstream (secondary router) to upstream (primary router) but not the other way around.
To get access from upstream to downstream you have to do 2 things:
1. Set a static route (like you did)
2. Punch a hole in the firewall of the secondary router
As DDWRT relies for a lot of things that the router is in gateway mode I would just leave the secondary router in gateway mode and add the following firewall rules to the secondary router:
Instead of gateway mode you can set the secondary router in router mode, in that case you do not have a firewall so you do not have to use the firewall rules but instead have to NAT the traffic out of the primary router by adding the NAT rule according to Per Yngve's post. But as said I would not recommend that (when routers were very old and slow, router mode had a speed advantage, but for modern routers that is not a concern especially with SFE available) _________________ Routers:Netgear R7000, R6400v1, R6400v2, EA6900 (XvortexCFE), E2000, E1200v1, WRT54GS v1.

I went back to the default second router 192.168.3.1. I removed the ADVANCED ROUTING entry on my main router 192.168.1.4. Now my main router QoS no longer responds with the IP of RANGE 192.168.3.0/24 only with the gateway, is there any way for my router to re-respond in my QoS with 192.168.3.0/24?
