SM961 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I would like to keep the DGL-5500 as my main router/wifi and just use Netduma's host filtering. is it possible with this router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDawgg Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Yes. Just connect the R1 (WAN) to DGL (LAN). The R1 will detect that it is not connected to a modem but another router. The DGL will issue a ip address to the R1. Place the ip address into the DGL's dmz. This will prevent you from having any NAT issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PharmDawgg Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Leave the connections as I stated above then see if you can connect (wired) desktop/laptop to the R1(LAN) and then access the R1 by way of 192.168.88.1? Make sure you have the DGL (LAN) connected to the R1 (WAN/POE port). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more question my PS4 should be connected to Netduma to use the Host Filtering only right? as the DGL is handling my speeds and wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM961 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 WAN IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDawgg Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 WAN IP. You should'nt have to setup a static ip. With DHCP on on the DGL, it should see your router as another device and give it it's own ip address. You can see this something like this on the device manager page. Basically everything connected to the DGL will get it's own ip address from the DGL (192.168.0.x) including the R1 and everything connected to the R1 with get it's own address from the R1 (192.168.88.x). Hope this makes sense. And yes what ever device you want to use the geofilter will NEED to be connected to the R1. If you can't get it to work then your way of doing with the static ip address work too. There is always more than one way to skin a cat, ruff ruff.

I should input whatever IP address I'm getting from Netduma's device manager to the DGL correct? in this case 192.168.1.111. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PharmDawgg Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Correct. Place the IP that you are getting for the R1 from the DGL in the DGL's dmz. In your case it is 192.168.0.100. The R1 has a built in firewall so it will be protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
