Crashoverride Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I recently went out and upgraded my internet and router. I am happy with my new routers speed and wifi capabilities. so I was just wondering. I have a netduma r1 and I was wondering if there is a way that I can hook up the r1 to my new router so I can utilize the r1's functions and still use my new router for wifi and speed? I was using a cable modem and I had it connected to the r1 for the router/wifi but i wasn't getting the speed that I was paying for. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 8, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2022 What functions of the R1 do you still want to use exactly? Really you'd need to put it behind the new router which means only devices connected directly to it could benefit from the Geo-Filter for example.

Crashoverride Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 How would I go about doing that? I only want my game systems to use the geo-filter and what not. I run them wired anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 8, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2022 Okay that's absolutely fine, just connect the R1 physically to the router in the same way you previously connected it to the modem. If needed for NAT purposes copy the WAN IP from the R1 System Information page and put that in the DMZ of the new router. Crashoverride 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can just use a Ethernet cord from my router to the r1? Does it matter what port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 8, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2022 Yes exactly, the Internet port/port 1 on the R1 has to be connected to a LAN port on the other router for it to get internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crashoverride Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Will I still have access to the r1's menu for everything by using the r1's ip address? Sorry. I haven't had a chance to do anything yet. Thank you again for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted January 9, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 9, 2022 You would have to connect a device to the R1 in order to access its interface, you can't have a PC connected to the other router and access the R1 for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
