Problem description:

I think I may be asking a basic question.

Currently I have 1 modem and 2 wireless routers (Let's call them Chillax and Lab)

The NAS server is attached the router Chillax

The IP addresses are as follows:

Chillax : 198.162.3.1
NAS : 198.162.3.11

I can see the Synology NAS when my notebook is connected wirelessly to Chillax. But somehow I can't get access to the NAS when I am attached to Lab.

The Lab IP address is 198.162.3.51

However in the Lab admin screen:

The router IP is 198.162.3.49
DNS is 198.162.0.1 which is similar to that of the modem

May I know what I need to re-configure so that the Chillax can see the NAS which is physically attached to the router Chillax.

OR

Should I just move the NAS to the one of modem Port instead now is with the router Chillax Port.

Look forward to hearing from the masters
