Accesing ISP router admin page through RV042

[WasimImam53587]

Hi There,

I am fairly novice to networking.

I have 2 ISP routers connected and working on WAN1 and WAN2 of RV042.

Each of the three routers have different Gateway addresses, and I was able to connect to each routers on direct cable connections.

Now the situation is I can only connect to RV042 as it is directly connected to my PC

But not able to connect to both the ISP routers. 

one router IP is 192.168.0.1

2nd router is 192.168.1.1

3rd router is 192.168.29.1

Any advise/help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

--> I was able to connect to each routers on direct cable connections

Are these ISP routers under your own management, or under ISP management ? If the latter is the case, the ISP usually locks down their equipment to prevent customers from access...

Thanks George for a quick post.

All three routers are under my management.

I can connect if ISP routers are directly connected to my PC on LAN.

The problem is when connect them to RV042.

Hello,

can you ping the ISP routers ? Do you have Internet connectivity from your PC when it is connected to the RV042 and the ISP routers ?

Actually, looking at the IP addresses you have posted:

one router IP is 192.168.0.1

2nd router is 192.168.1.1

3rd router is 192.168.29.1

Your RV042 needs to connect to the ISP routers using an IP address that is from the same address space. Which address space is that ? All these three IP addresses appear to be from diffferent address spaces, so there seems to be no common subnet ?

[WasimImam53587]

I am able to connect to internet through both ISP routers, I tested this by switching between RV042 options (smart link and load balancing).

To provide you with clear picture.

192.168.1.1 is default gateway address for RV042.

The other 2 are for ISPs.

You mentioned below same address space and different subnet.

All I can check is my LAN subnet which is 255.255.255.0 and my LAN IP address comes under RV042 range.

I could not find any subnet mask reading for WAN ports on RV042.

Sorry, forgot to add this.

Ping on both ISP routers is OK.

Hello,

your RV042 needs to have a route to both 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.29.1, and both ISP routers need to have a route back towards 192.168.1.1. What are 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.29.1, are these management IP addresses, loopback addresses ? What interfaces are these addresses assigned to ?

[WasimImam53587]

Hello,

Both of these addresses are connected on WAN1 and WAN2 ports of RV042.

My PC is connected to LAN1.

I am using the RV042 for Load balancing purpose only.

No other modification are made on RV042, it is exactly same as it came from factory.

One doubt though, if no routing is available between these 2 routers and RV042 then, will Internet work ?

[WasimImam53587]

Hello George,

I got it ok now.

192.168.0.1 was not reaching due to https, with http it is OK

192.168.29.1 was not reaching due to reason, at the time I was trying it was on standby mode.

It was connected physically, but RV042 was routing all the request via 192.18.0.1.

Thanks very much George for your time and efforts.

Greatly appreciated.

Regards
