Hi there,
First of all, sorry for the handwriting in the image below… wrote it very quickly. I recently installed a secondary router to work with my Quest 3 VR headset (so I can basically stream VR games wirelessly from my PC). This has a different network name and password. My PC is connected to it, along with my Apple TV, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. The thing is my Jellyfin media server is connected via my main router, which like I said before, has a different name and password. I can’t have my Apple TV or my PC connect to the media server. I also can’t connect from my PC to the media servers via Windows remote desktop, which I also strictly need. Any thoughts how I could fix this? Thanks!
It depends what make and model these routers are, but u/jerwong’s advice is right.
If you want some key words and phrases to figure out how to set it up, you’re running is two subnets, two DHCP servers and an internal NAT firewall on your second routers which is keeping the two networks separate. You want everyone on a single subnet (or separate subnets with a subnet mask to cover both), a single DHCP server (or two in the subnet mask solution could work) and to remove your internal NAT firewall, which will be an outcome of the first two things.
If all this is foreign to you and you don’t want to learn, it’s probably best to just spend some money on the problem.
The ‘right’ way to do it is to fix the main network so that it works with your Qyest.
