Route to subnet while using WLAN
I have the following network setup:
INTERNET
|
| 192.168.10.1
+----------+
|ISP ROUTER|
+----------+
| |
ether/wlan +----+ +-----+ ether
192.168.10.10 | | 192.168.10.20
+--------+ +----------------+
| HOST A | | HOST B |
+--------+ | |
| +--------+ |
| | HOST C | |
| | VM | |
| +--------+ |
| 192.168.50.50 |
+----------------+
My goal is to connect from HOST A to HOST C which is a virtual machine running on HOST B. When HOST A is connected to my ISP's router via ethernet cable then I can simply add the following route on HOST A:
ip route add 192.168.50.0/24 via 192.168.10.20
This works and I can reach HOST C from HOST A. However, this does not work when I connect HOST A via WLAN to my router because the WLAN card cannot directly communicate with 192.168.10.20. I can issue
ip route add 192.168.10.1 dev wlan0
ip route add 192.168.10.0/24 via 192.168.10.1 dev wlan0
which enables HOST A to at least be able to connect to HOST B, but if I try use
ip route add 192.168.50.0/24 via 192.168.10.20
to connect to HOST C then I get the error message:
RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable
Is there a way to connect from HOST A to HOST C when I use WLAN on HOST A1? Please keep in mind, that I cannot configure any routes on the router.

Are you sure the router doesn't deliberately have "Wi-Fi Client Isolation" enabled?

@grawity I do not know how "Client Isolation" works, so I am not sure if my router does this. I checked, however, but did not find any settings that might indicate that "Client Isolation" is enabled.
