I am not very experienced with networking and as I build out my services on prem I have come to this community for help and support.
I have done a lot of reading about subnets and masking and the like and I semi-understand how it works and what I want to do but I don’t know how to actually do it.
Thanks to this community I have a OPNSense Router that I installed on a desktop computer where I purchased a 2x1gb NIC to install. I’ve learned how to open ports and how to NAT/forward even with reflections for my https local services.
My wired network is 192.168.1.0/24 meaning 255.255.255.0. My wireless is Google Nest Wifi which limits me a bit. It is using 192.168.86.0/24. The gateway for both networks is my opnsense router 192.168.1.1.
I want to create a route between 192.168.86.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24. I believe one way to do it is to use 255.255.0.0 meaning /16 but I don’t know where to make that change and since the Google Wifi uses its own DHCP, i am not sure I can change that properly.
My preference is to leave Google Wifi alone (its a piece a shit, by the way, don’t buy it) and my expectation is that I can create a route in opnsense to ‘bridge’ the two different subnets.
Am i correct? If not, can you help me understand? If i am correct, can you guide me?
A few weeks ago, I purchased a TP-Link AX53 for $200 AUD. Not the absolute bleeding edge for speed, but its WIFI6 does WPA3, mobile devices typically get 1Gb/s. More than enough for most use cases (Yes, you can get much faster but expect $$$$$)

Holy crap. Burn it with fire and make the switch.
