2 routers, problem with QoS when connected over WiFi

[Vaseer]

Greetings

I have problem with QoS using 2 routers

Routers:
Router1: Asus RT-N16, SW: Tomato by Shibby (Tomato Firmware 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-102 K26 USB AIO), this router is set up as main router with DHCP enabled, PPPoE enabled, QoS setup…
Local IP: 192.168.20.1, netmask: 255.255.255.0, gateway: 192.168.1.1 (modem)

Router2: Asus WL-500gP V2, SW: DD-WRT (DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/07/10) mega - build 14896), set up as Wireless Access Point (I followed this instruction: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Access_Point ) - DHCP disabled, WAN disabled…
Local IP: 192.168.20.2, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway: 192.168.20.1

Routers are connected with UTP in LAN port on both routers.

Problem: Devices connected to router2’s WiFi are “seen” on router1’s IP Traffic Details under IP 192.168.20.2 – this IP belongs to router2 – all other types of connections are working OK (router1 LAN and WiFi and router2 LAN) – problem is only with router2 WiFi.

On router1 I have setup DHCP with static leases to all home devices and all of connected devices get correct static IP address, no matter how are they connecting – router1 LAN or WiFi and router2 LAN or WiFi.

How can I setup router2, that router1 will see all devices on their static IP under IP Traffic Details? – that I will be able to set QoS for each device different.

Thanks for your help.

i didnt think many people used QoS because to work it has to kill active packets and then your applications must resend them, effectively slowing down the network in a different way then if you just left QoS disabled.

i personally never say benefits from running QoS. i get much better results when i limit the bandwith in the individual apps.

What Wireless Mode are you using on router #2? If AP, try Repeater or Repeater Bridge.

That's very strange as all of my devices attached to AP's (all tomato firmware) all show up independently on the main router (DHCP - static IP driven). My 2 access points don't show up on the main router at all. Sounds like a problem with DD-WRT's wifi process on AP's but not sure.
