What am I missing here? Or what would be the best solution?

I have a home lab setup to understand networking a bit batter. I have a regular home router (asus RT-AC66R) and a cisco WS-C3560G-24PS switch.

I have 2 vlan's. Vlan10 192.168.1.2 and vlan20 10.1.10.1. The router ip is 192.168.1.1. I have routes in the router for vlan 20 and in the switch point everything to 192.168.1.1. Now im able to ping both vlans in and out. But im not able to see clients on vlan 20 pointing to the router as dns server by there name. So all the clients on vlan10 are able to see each other by name but they are not able to see clients on vlan20 and vlan20 clients cant see them by name.  Is it because the regular router can only act as dns server for the same ip sub net? And in order for me to be able to see the whole network I would need to setup domain? Or is there a way to do it with no domain?

Thank You. I do understand on how to get it working with a host file as you explained that to me before and with a domain. The one thing I was not able to understand is why the pc's with a ip address of 192.168.1.0 are handled by the router and the ip's with 10.1.10.0 are not and if they can be?

Hi 

Which DNS servers have you configured on your computers over the network 192.168.1.0/24 and if you have any domain configured on the router.

[alexten1983]

192.168.1.1

[alexten1983]

But I fixed the VPN by pointing to the router as the default router. And because I have the routing in the router to the l3 switch everything is working.
