Double00Kevin Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 So we just switched our internet carriers from a cable company that just went out of business to a "mom and pop" local phone company. I live in a secluded area lol. They came out and installed a calix 844G-1. The good thing is, they offer 50 down and 25 up......twice as fast as what we had!! Living in the back country has some disadvantages. The issue is.....they tell me that the 844G-1 cannot be set to Bridged mode. I honestly feel like they can do this from their head end (I dont see a setting for that on my end)......but trying to keep the peace, Im looking for an alternative. In order to effectively get the most out of the Netduma router, maybe throw it onto the 844G-1 DMZ? Anyway, Im looking for the best setup in everyones opinion with this. What would my other settings look like? upnp on both routers? DHCP settings? QoS? Port Forwarding? Static Routes? Like I said, just curious on everyones' thoughts. Thanks for everyone's brainstorming in advance!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted May 20, 2016 Administrators Share Posted May 20, 2016 Hey, welcome to the forum! Yes you can put the duma WAN IP in the DMZ, disable WiFi, UPnP & port forwarding on the 844G-1 as well. Then connect all devices to the duma. Leave DHCP as it is, UPnP should open all necessary ports needed. Anti-flood 70/70 when heavily using the internet/gaming. Can set static IPs for devices in DHCP lease but not required.

Double00Kevin Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Thanks for the feedback!! Took a few minutes for me to figure out this gateway from my ISP but all is well now!! Should I port forward to my PS4 or just keep UPNP turned on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an opan NAT with UPnP then just leave UPnP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
