If anyone can solve this I'll buy ya a couple beers ($10 PayPal?)
I have a very large home with two wireless routers, both identical Belkin N300. They are both connected to the house LAN. Router 1 is 192.168.1.1 and connected to the Enternet, Router two is 192.168.1.2 and is configured to function as an Access Point (all routing turned off). There are multiple devices connected via Ethernet to both routers and they can all see each other and have Internet Access. Firewall is turned off on Router 1 just to make sure it is not causing any problems.
The Airport Express is in Ethernet only mode (wireless disabled) and connected to the LAN via a couple of daisy chained switches.
I've given the two different routers separate SSIDs to be able to know which one I'm connecting to.
Via iTunes, on my 802.11n notebook, I can see and use the Airport Express when connected wirelessly from either router.
On my iPhone 4 (4.3.3 IOS) I can only see the Airport Express when connected wirelessly to Router 2 (the AP only Router)
Both routers are operating in mixed mode and they are on different channels.
The only thing I can think of is it has something to do with the iPhone not using N network, but G network. I've been a PC/Network guy both professionally and hobbyist for a long time and this one has me stumped.
