A new found friend thinks I know something about computers and networks. ??

A recent power cut required a re-powering of an intermediate WiFi router to restore the network hooking up two subnets.

I didn't want to spend much time analysing the setup that had been created by someone else, especially as I could see heaps of devices running on WiFi.

Is it possible to web browse to a device on a different subnet?

In hindsight I could possibly have used command line tools such as ping, ipconfig /all and tracert.
