What I think you are doing is using NAT between your 2 networks. Below is my approximation of your system patched together from your comments... 1. You have the router that is connected to your ISP. It is performing NAT and handing out a private network to anything on its LAN and WIFI interfaces. 2. You have a second router that has its Internet/WAN interface connected to one of the LAN interfaces on the first router. It is also performing NAT and handing out a second private network on its LAN and WIFI interfaces. You WOULD be able to connect via SSH from a device connected to the router listed in point 2 to a device connected to the router listed in point 1. You WOULD NOT be able to connect from the device connected to the router listed in point 2 FROM a device connected to the router listed in point 1 due to NAT. There are ways to get beyond this and only have one network utilizing 2 SOHO routers. I would always recommend for anyone who has limited network experience to only use one router and use a combination of switches and access points to extend wired LANs and provide better WIFI coverage. If the setup is how I described, you may have other issues due to DOUBLE NAT that you just have not recognized yet.
