Vonage I think I see part of the problem. Networking equipment has issues when you try
I think I see part of the problem. Networking equipment has issues when you try to assign the same 24 bit subnets behind multiple routers when static routes are not used. The reason is because a subnet is used to determine who is on your LAN. Meaning anything connected to the local switch. Since your using a Layer 3 router, when trying to ping another 192.168.0.x address not on your switch, the packet will not be forwarded to the Default GW. It will stay on the switch but since there is no IP on the switch to match your request, it dies.
This is evident in your Ping. From the Laptop you can ping 192.168.0.2 but not anything else like 192.168.0.20. This is because 255.255.255.0 (24 bit subnet) tells the packet not to go to the default GW(192.168.0.15). In order for a packet to go to the default GW since it thinks it is on your LAN, it would have to be on a separate subnet.
Your data also does not match your diagram so your going to have to be a bit more clear.
In your diagram, your showing the WAN IP on the RT31P2 is 192.168.0.15 and the LAN IP is 192.168.0.2 however in your post you state the following "What I can't do though, is use the Vonage as a switch to connect to the internet. I have DHCP setup on all devices, all in the 192.168.1.x subnet".
I suggest you make a simple change to your LAN IP on the RT31P2. Make is 192.168.1.1 or 1.2 and then release and renew the IP on your Laptop and ensure it gets a 192.168.1.x address. Then retest internet. This puts you on a separate subnet. While you should have internet, when doing this, it will make it difficult to access machines behind other NAT's. In this case, a simple 8 or 16 port switch off the DGL-4500 would make the most sense so that each device is on the same subnet and accessible to one another. Otherwise your going to have to set up static routes on each router (not the DGL-4500) to tell client requests how to get to the other network.
I hope this makes sense. It's hard to explain this but it is very simple. I am not the best at trying to simplify explanations.

• Here is my connection setup:
Internal Addresses:
DLink 4500 - 192.168.0.1

• Your explanation makes perfect sense, and I should have thought of that myself.
• Thanks for the help. That worked for me perfectly, and when I say perfectly, I mean
