Hey Guys,
I know this has probably been answered many, many times, but all of the board topics and tutorials aren't helping me out...
I have two WRT54g v5 routers running DD-WRT Build 13064, Router 1 has my internet connection and has a 192.168.1.1 internal IP netmask 255.255.255.0 - WAN IP is 10.0.0.1 and provides for my wireless clients and some wired ones. Router 2 has IP 172.16.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 - WAN IP is 192.168.1.200 and is primarily used for my servers (two Poweredges running ESXi).
If Router 2 is in gateway mode, I can access the internet perfectly, get to anything on the 192.168.1.x subnet perfectly. However, my issue is that when using a PC on the 192.168.1.x subnet and trying to get the 172.16.x.x subnet, I can't ping or access anything. If router 2 is in Router mode, I can't do anything.
I've tried adding static routes on each router with no luck - typically this just ruins the net connection for each router. Can someone help me out with this??
Thanks!

Thanks phuzi0n - I re-read this and missed the part where you needed to put Router 2's WAN IP address as the Gateway when defining the static route. Makes much more sense now.
