Set up with Sky Router

[BannedAirship]

Hello everyone

This is my first Netduma product and i got to say i'm really impressed. 

I've read through these posts over the last few days of owning the R3 and most of my questions have been answered, so thank you all. Although i do have one question please.

I have a Sky (ISP) router i have simply disabled both WIFi bands and the WIFI security, along with adding the Netduma WAN IP to the Sky routers Default DMZ Server. Is this the best thing to do and is there anything i am missing please?

All the best and have a great new year. Thank you

UPDATE: I have also disabled uPNP on the IPS router.

Hello, welcome to the forum!

You've done everything you need to do in order to make the two routers work optimally together and to allow the R3 total control of the network so all good to just focus on the R3 now.

Depends actually on your incoming connection.

Is your sky isp router connected to the Internet via a phone line/rj11 cable.

Or do you have separate rj11 and rj45/ethernet cables..... if your sky isp router is connected via a wan port ethernet cable. Then you should be able to use pppoe with your sky credentials to set up the r3 as the only router needed.

If not you have done everything but 9/10 you can use your pppoe from sky to connect and get rid of the isp router
