My Cisco router, SRP521W, allows for seperate SSID's and VLANS for Data and voice.

Cool I thought, I can have voice traffic getting priority etc etc.

SSID: data_lan (subnet 192.168.15.x)
SSID: voice_lan (subnet 192.168.16.x)

The problem is my data (Computer, TV and Laptop) are on 192.168.15.1 and my Smart phone (which has a Bria client on it) is on 192.168.16.1.

I had been using my smart phone to control the TV in a variety of ways, but now they are on different subnets I cant.

Can I setup a static route in the SRP521W to still allow the two devices to communicate?

Cheers

No route needs to be set on the SRP521W as its already the default gateway for both subnets and knows the routes between them already. It probably is a firewall rule or something.

It depends whether L2 connectivity is required (ie protocols such as Bonjour). There already is a L3 route, but this won't pass any L2 traffic.

Network Setup -> Routing -> Intervlan routing

There's a radio button to turn this on and off - does it accomplish what you are trying to do?

The same device is the gateway, but VLAN voice has a GW IP of 192.168.16.1 and data lan has a GW IP of 192.168.15.1 - I cant use the data GW IP on the voice VLAN.

I can ping the voice GW from the data LAN and visa versa, so maybe you are right.

Looks like it must need L2, I wanted it for DLNA etc, which must use some sort of broadcast service, ala Bonjour or similar.
