Yes that is right, no need to port forward on the R2 immediately as it may not be needed but if you were to port forward it would be done on the R2. That's fair enough! Certain ISPs are more difficult to use your own products with yes, Sky is probably the most difficult in the UK. I use Virgin for example, not only because they offer the fastest speeds by far out of the major providers but because using their router you can plug any router into it and it works immediately. That could work but it's quite complicated when using the hub with R2 in the DMZ is perfectly fine - it's how I have my ISP router setup. At the end of the day all you need is for the ISP router/modem to pass traffic straight through to the R2, that's what the DMZ does. No option 101 on the R2 but if needed we can look into implementing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the hub and the R2, the R2 would hand out IPs to all the devices connected to it. The hub would hand out the IP to the R2 and any devices you have connected to the hub. It's fine to have them both using DHCP, it should not cause any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echo one Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 so i would be able to use dhcp on the r2 alone or would i need to set ip reservations on both the hub and the r2 ? them on both sky and the r2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted to disable DHCP on the hub which isn't needed then you would first need to set an IP reservation on the hub for the R2. Then you can set IP reservations for your individual devices on the R2 if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No port forwarding required on the Sky hub when using the DMZ. Yes absolutely you could use both those features with this setup, would recommend connecting all devices to the R2 for maximum effect. That's certainly possible, as it probably needs access to the internet to determine the correct time so that could work. Okay Fraser got it working thru the hub still doesn’t work With just the modem but I have it running going to try to configure qos and gel filter tomorrow Thank you for helping me @Netduma Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most important thing is you're up and running with the router through the hub. Great, any questions let us know. You're very welcome, thanks for your patience! echo one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
