So are you firewalling the WAP or just using a separate IP range?

Worse comes to worse, assuming you are double NAT'd with the WAP doing DHCP for it's 
subnet. I'd setup the WAP as Gateway, DNS & DHCP server and it's DNS client pointing 
to gateway router. This should properly forward DNS requests to the main router 
rather than relying on the WAP subnet clients being able to talk to main router by 
NAT. If the WAP has it's firewall enabled, disable it long enough to establish if 
it's blocking anything.


On that path, setting up Syslog setup for full logging (high+deny/accept) output from 
from all routers to a central syslog server (kiwi freeware version, capture events to 
file) running on a LAN PC would be a a good way to diagnose what's up. If you go this 
route I'd say install latest supported DD-WRT on all routers capable of running it if 
you have not already done so.

I do need them, because I have employees, friends and family using my
WAP that I don't want to even see my LAN. The TV and the BRD I can solve
most of the problem just by plugging the media devices switch into the
WAN, because they don't need to access my LAN, but the WD live does.

For the time being I have done this, although I am going to try and
forward the TV devices IP number to the WAN as a gateway and see what
happens.

My problem with that is AFAIK, he has other devices on the LAN that are working 
fine (getting NAT'ed to the outside, though I may be wrong about that), whereas 
it's just the TV devices that don't work-the difference with them is that 
they're "new" which makes me think it's something else, but it's too hard to 
tell-there just isn't enough information to really figure out what's going on 
w/o looking at a Visio and the router configs and doing an actual 
troubleshooting session...though I keep coming back to routing issues (which 
could be NAT issues too).

 

At this point (w/o doing the actual troubleshooting session) I'd say that you 
just collapse your networks into one flat 192.168.1.x (you don't need multiple 
networks anyway-not like you're firewalling and enforcing security policies b/w 
them anyway, are you?) and then you'll be fine as the LAN and WAN will be the 
same network and you'll get access to everything you need that way.  It's how I 
have mine set up at home! :p

I'd say that's likely part of it!

Could it be that you are double NATing !
