Q:
Wifi/client-bridge/subnets???
Ive got the basics on home networking down pretty well but when it comes to subnets, I get lost. Here's the scenario...
WWW--> router 1-->gateway 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0, wireless G AP, set to auto dhcp, max 50 clients, and has 2-3 hosts (2 cat5, 1 wifi) set to auto config dhcp. Lets call this side A
router 2> dd-wrt/linksys wireless router, set to 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0, client bridge to side A, rip2 router, has 4 (cat5) hosts set to manual config 192.168.1.(120-150), dynamic routing set to both (LAN&WAN), both router and cliets set to gateway 192.168.1.1. . And this ill refer to as side B
All clients and routers can communicate and have full access to WWW. No wi-fi security at this point but will configure it later.
Side A has agreed to share their WWW connection with side B however would prefer to have the bandwidth equally shared and most importantly have side A & B hosts invisible to each other.
From what ive gathered so far, (Correct me if im wrong) I think im supposed to set side A to 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.128 and let it continue to autoconfig (max 126 clients) its clients addresses to 192.168.1.(2 -126). So my question is what do I set side B router and clients ip/subnet/gateway to?
Any help is greatly appreciated. This share is only to remain under the conditions requested so if I cant figure this out, side A will secure its wi-fi broadcast, causing side B to cry and rust its internal parts. Perhaps even starting an electrical fire that would engulf the residence and spread uncontrollably, leveling everything in its path. A sad sight indeed.
Please Help!!!

to continue the subnet structure from A to B, set B as follows
192.168.1.128/25 (255.255.255.128), add a static route from outside interface of router b to inside router a; point the clients to 192.168.1.128 for gateway. This will not provide load balancing for you, but should isolate the clients to their own side.
