Netmask's and routing are my achilies heel, so that may not be right but essentially you've opened the subnet from a class c to class B which is likely why you have routing working.
Could be you are missing a gateway setting on slave router if you can't get out from subnet 2. Or you may still need a static route so the subnet 1 can access subnet 2 clients which is why you could not access slave router from a subnet 1 machine. I'd use 2 subnets like this, 192.168.1.0 & 192.168.2.0. 1. Master router a. WAN, DHCP (assuming cable, otherwise PPOE for DSL) b. LAN, 192.168.1.1/24 c. LAN, DHCP, 192.168.1.100, "x" clients (whatever you need on master) d. static route, 192.168.2.0/24 gateway 192.168.1.2 2. Slave router a. WAN, static 192.168.1.2/24 b. WAN, gateway 192.168.1.1 c. LAN, 192.168.2.1/24 d. LAN, gateway 192.168.2.1 <- *may not need this* e. LAN, DHCP, 192.168.2.100, "y" clients (whatever you need on slave) So slave router would be on subnet 1 acting as gateway & DHCP host for it's clients on subnet 2 that would gateway though it to subnet 1 when they accessed IP outside of 192.168.2.0. Been awhile, but I think this is how I had my VOIP router setup on subnet 2 when I added VOIP last year.
