I just installed a mesh WiFi network in addition to my ISP-provided router that could barely reach upstairs. I had some locally hosted services set up as per Mediabox. All containers were set up with my machine IP(?) 192.xxx.x.xx and were working great inside my network, which is all I wanted to do while I’m learning. I noticed today that if I connect via the other, mesh WiFi network that this IP can’t be accessed, despite it being the same machine. What’s going on?

All advice much appreciated as I am (obviously) a self hosting novice!

    Does this setup have you running two separate routers? AFAIK this is an issue since they can assign conflicting IPs. Typically when using your own router combined with an ISP modem/router combo, you’re supposed to set the ISP device into pass-through mode so that it isn’t doing anything but forwarding the traffic to your personal router.
