AlanLJ Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I am really keen to purchase one of these routers. I was just wondering if it is possible to use the following setup: I have an Asus DSL-N55U modem/router downstairs in the livingroom. Is it possible for me to use my netgear homeplugs to plug into the Asus router and have the other homeplug up in my room connected into the netduma? And then I can plug the netduma straight into my xb1 via ethernet cable? (You may ask why I dont want the netduma plugged straight into the asus, but my dad just bought the asus router so i dont want to be seen to be 'wasting' money and i also get a poor wifi signal up here) Not sure if I explained that too well, feel free to ask me to go into more detail if you dont understand my query. Thanks for any help!!
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Sure you can absoultey do that, but you won't be getting the benefits of the congestion control on the netduma as only one device is going through the Netduma. Hope that helps
AlanLJ Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 Could I connect things through WiFi (my laptop, phone etc) to the netduma by doing this? The only thing that's connected through Ethernet to our current router is my dads computer and he doesn't use the Internet so not bothered if that was omitted from the congestion control.
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 As far as I understand a homeplug is a transparent device, so yes you could have everything connect to it in your room. But bear in mind it is wifi and distance, walls and the other usual interference factors will matter.
AlanLJ Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 Ok, so using this setup everything should work as normal on it?
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Yes with the exception of your fathers computer
AlanLJ Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Just set my Netduma up using the setup i mentioned earlier and I have a strict NAT. Any suggestions?
AlanLJ Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 I tried the first step of this tutorial - http://wiki.netduma.com/doku.php?id=how_do_i_open_my_nat- but to no avail. I am now wanting to try the DMZ stage but I dont have a WAN IP underneath the blue box as it shows in your tutorial.
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 You have the router already? That was quick! Thanks for purchasing. You need to upgrade to the latest firmware to see WAN IP. Please read this: http://wiki.netduma.com/doku.php?id=manual_update Then follow the instructions on how to open your NAT
AlanLJ Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 The joys of next day delivery! Can't enjoy halo on a crap host! Thanks, will get back to you after I've had a go.
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Cheers Alan, we don't official support Halo MCC but quite a few people use it here. I'm sure they will be happy to help you if you have any issues. If your'e talking about Halo 3, then send me your GT I'd be well up for some MLG
AlanLJ Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Ok so its now open when I Disabled the 'Select service/Game' Geo-filter and enabled the upnp port forwarding. Am I ok to just enable the geo filtering when playing?
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Yes its a false report. You can safely ignore it!
AlanLJ Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Excellent thanks very much! I'm a huge halo 3 fan (it's all I really play) but I play it on the MCC now..looking forward to the ranks getting put in! I was a 50 in MLG on the 360 so I'm alright! My GT is: l ALJU l (the straight lines are small L's)
AlanLJ Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Yeah mate he has indeed, thanks though! Will you be on at all today?
Guest Netduma_Iain Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I was MLG 50 on halo 3 as well. Love that game massively. I'll probably be working all of this weekend I'm afraid. But my tag is "netduma son" you can add me if you fancy some games!
Buds Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I'll be on tonight Alan if your on later. Out for meetings for rest of afternoon now
AlanLJ Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Added you Iain! Ok Buds, shall send you an invite if I am on!
