Hello community! I tried to find an answer to my question in the Forum but wasn´t lucky. Here´s my setup: I have my computer connected via ethernet to a router which should do the internet connection based stuff (Streaming, Datasources etc.) and connected via wireless to another access point which should be used for tally, webcontroller etc.

But it is not working. How can I set this up properly? (with two Networks! don´t want to have it on one taing care of everything).

Is it possible?

Thanks for your help!!

Greetings, Thomas

Hi Thomas

I see 2 solutions:

1. Take a simple hardware router and set up a static route.
2 Use Static Route inside of Windows. Static Route

Yes, it is possible. I think the most easy way is to setup the second connection by hand to not include a gateway.
So setup the access point as AP only, no DHCP server.
Then give the wireless nic on the PC an ip address outside the netmask of the internet nic.
So if the internet connection is 192.168.0.x, go for 192.168.10.x or 10.0.0.x
Netmask 255.255.255.0, no gateway, no dns.

Hi

we need a lot of information to be able to help... What's not working?
For example can you ping your equipments on the wireless network?
Does your PC connect to the internet?

Please describe better what is the situation.

Setups may vary according to many factors, but

1. if the router and the access point are yours, the easiest thing to do is to make them both on the same lan with a single DHCP server for everything. This way there is only one IP range, a single gateway and each device can communicate together by default.

2. in case they're not yours (or you deliberately prefer not to mingle both lans for some reason), then it depends on the AP capacity to act as a DHCP server AND a gateway router or not:

if it can be a dhcp: then activate it, define the ip range (which must be different than the one used for wired connection to the router) and connect your devices to this Wifi. They should be able to communicate

if not, you must use static IP addresses for all your equipments on the wireless network

One problem might occur if your AP also acts as an internet gateway and also has a route and a valid connection to the internet.
In this case, your vMix computer will get 2 routes for the internet: the one from the router and the other one from the AP.

Then you must solve this by defining a "priority" route. You can check this in cmd shell by typing:

route PRINT

It will first show the list of interfaces with a number and a routing table ending by a "metric" value. The lowest metric has priority.
So you must make sure that this PC will use your router network gateway for the internet.

If it doesn't, type route /? to get help for command route CHANGE (or come back here for further help)

However I guess the problem is more about bad dhcps 'cos by default your machine should be correctly connected to both networks at the same time.

So try to give us more info like copy/paste your route PRINT table, make ping tests between your machines so that we can see where the problem is.
