Creating another AP via second router

On Router 2 - you need to manually add DNS servers

For DNS1 use 192.168.1.1 (main router)
DNS2 use 208.67.222.222 or 8.8.8.8 or whatever you want

Add multiple DNS - I usually have 3 or 4 configured.

That's as I've configured it already

Last thing you can check is this.

One one of the clients on the 2nd router

Set a static IP of 192.168.2.10 or whatever (below the DHCP range)
Set gateway of 192.168.2.1
Set DNS of some public DNS servers

See how the device pings and browses internet sites

If it works fine like that, somewhere the DHCP settings are not right.

No change. Something is definitely getting through occasionally. Uggh... this shouldn't go so wrong :X

I changed Router2's LAN to 192.168.2.1, its WAN to 192.168.1.2 and added 192.168.1.1 to the top of its DNS server list. Otherwise the settings are just as in the above pic (plus Router1's DMZ=192.168.1.2).

based on this post I'm still not confident that you have set-up your subnet correctly?

Can you show use screen shots of both routers DHCP settings

e.g.

Apologies for the delay.

Ok - those settings look good.

Now on your main router - do you have the DMZ set
to 192.168.1.2 ?

I'm not happy about this entry

this is mine

I suspect things might go better for you if you remove that DNS entry?

Yeah, that's what the DMZ is set to.

That DNS entry was suggested earlier in the thread and made no difference, it didn't work before or after.

I'll find time to install some other firmware and see if that works... I'm not sure if I should be blaming gargoyle, my settings or the router itself at this point.

It is very unlikely that it is a firmware problem.

We can work trough the problem with you if you like but leaving it days between posts is a bit long.
