Yeah request a mod to merge them, or close one with comment that use the other thread.

Need to figure out how to do what you want and allow all your machines local access to each other, and then we can worry about your WOL issues.

It is possible to have multiple gateways to be used by different segments on your local network which should allow you to have clients in a segment use your pptp (vpn connection) and then route traffic between them locally. I just don't know if you can do it with dd-wrt.

To accomplish what you want you may need to use a full blown router distro as your gatway. Im dealing with some stuff with work currently, but am thinking about best solution to your problem.

The simple solution already given would be to multihome the device(s) currently using the pptp router into your other network.. Not the cleanest solution - but it would work. So they would have a interface to use when talking to 192.168.1.0/24 and then talking to anything else would use your pptp router to get to the internet through the vpn connection.

      Wrong again. Electric vehicles are more reliable than gasoline vehicles because they have fewer points of failure. On average, they last 50% longer. Its your right to be incorrect and my right to correct you.

    • ISP upping me to 1200Mbps, need solutions...

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, I am using a Hitron CODA56 cable modem with Comcast Xfinity's 1200 Mbps service.  No issues noted.  I had looked at the Motorola and Netgear options for a cable modem, but neither was available for purchase at the time I upgraded my cable connection. There are multiple models in the Netgear Nighthawk X10 line-up.  I am guessing you have either the the Netgear Nighthawk X10 AD7000 model (R8900) or the Netgear Nighthawk X10 AD7200 model (R9000) model, is that correct?  Both of these only have one gigabit WAN (internet) ports for connection to the modem, all of the remaining ports for the LAN side of things are gigabit Ethernet ports.  The 10GbE port on the devices is meant for connection to local NAS storage.  I suppose you could connect the desktop computer directly to it, although it would still be limited by the gigabit connection between the cable modem and the Netgear residential gateway broadband router. I would suggest looking for a residential gateway broadband router from a company like Asus, Netgear, TP-Link or maybe even Ubiquiti, depending upon budget, that has 2.5Gbps (or faster) WAN and LAN ports.  That would allow you to make full use of the 1.2Gbps connection from your ISP as well as have some room for future growth, speed-wise.
