Question Does this network/router configuration look like it will work?

[Darkostica]

I will be receiving some of this hardware in the coming days and just want to make sure I'm correct about how to set it up. All feedback is appreciated.
The diagram below should have all the info needed, if not let me know. Thanks

So many issues I don't even know which is worse.

First you must use different subnets unless you can actually put them in bridge mode. They all can't be on 192.168.0.x.

You have your second router you say is in AP mode problem is when they are in AP/bridge mode they do exactly that. No traffic will pass the router chip so you will not be able to do any filtering or whatever you had planned. The device will function basically as a dumb switch that has wifi but you have that disabled.

If you run it as a router then again you must have all different subnets on the wan and lan interface

Although it won't matter once you run this as three routers using different subnet all hooked behind each other the nest box can not run DHCP the way you want. It would have to somehow set the gateway IP to be the 192.168.0.1 router but this is not possible on most consumer routers. They always set the gateway to their own LAN IP. OPENWRT can I think set any IP but again to use any of the traffic filter features the traffic must pass through the router software on the box so you have to use a different design anyway.

In any case just hook them all together wan/lan Using 192.168.1.x, 192.168.2.x, 192.168.3.x

Thanks for the detailed response.

Sorry, I should have copped the subnets being an issue.
As far as I know, the Gl inet router(middle) can have DHCP off while in router mode. Would that help my situation? It could then do SQM?

Am I correct in putting them into DMZs or is that not necessary?

Also, I should clarify, there will be nothing connecting the the first two routers aside from each other with the lan and wan connections. All traffic will be going through the Nest router

You would only need DMZ mode if you are running some kind of server and need port forwarding.

Having DHCP on or off makes no difference really if you have assigned a static IP to the other router that is connected.

Once you fix all the subnets then it should work but the second router must be running in router mode not ap mode.

Ok, I'll try this when it all arrives and hopefully it works. Thanks, I appreciate it.
