Vinman Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Well here is the issue im trying to resolve. have the Modem > R1> then i have my PC off the r1 and my other router that everything else in the house is connected to is connected to r1 as well. but i cant view anything from my PC that is connected to the ASUS router and vice versa anything off of the ASUS router cant see my PC. So is there a way to setup this env to allow devices on the ASUS router to see my PC and for my PC to see those devices ? Some bridge settings ? not sure havent done before so if anyone who has or might have the expertise i would appreciate it let me know thx Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e. devices you want to control need to be connected to the R1, it cannot be used to see devices not connected to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So nothing directly connected to the Netduma would be seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Netduma Fraser Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 But the ASUS Router would be connected to the Netduma right? So nothing directly connected to the Netduma would be seen? It would go modem > Asus > R1 > devices you want the R1 to control, everything else connected to the asus. I would recommend you dont use the asus so the netduma can control everything and you can make the most of its features. Otherwise do the setup I just said but you wont see all the devices, hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e. devices you want to control need to be connected to the R1, it cannot be used to see devices not connected to it. I've done it before, it's a pain to setup though. I have the Asus RT-N56U but generally most Asus routers have the same interface... If you really want to get it working I'll try my best to help. Also, I haven't tested it but I'm pretty sure if you go to the administration page on the asus and set it to "Access Point(AP) mode" then plug the patch cable that came with your R1 from the R1 to the LAN (NOT WAN) port of the asus it should work.

PharmDawgg Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I have mine set up that way. The modem>R1>Asus(AP). I am able to see all devices and everything works flawlessly. Also I am able the use the wifi range of the Asus for all my devices in the house that are far away and on different floors. And definitely connect the Asus router to the R1 lan to lan.

abc123 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The R1 can't be made an Access Point meaning if it is Modem <-> Asus <-> R1 you will have 2 networks the asus network and the R1 network and without routing tables you won't have the ability to communicate between them with: Modem <-> R1 <-> Asus (as an access point) you will have 1 network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Netduma_Iain Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hey Vinman is CoD AW working for you on PC? Can you post in this thread please: http://forum.netduma.com/topic/702-aw-on-pc-with-geo-filter/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLCUSF Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Vinman, I had to do the same, I just used the power of Google and googled it. You would need your full name of your router. So for example: Netgear Nighthawk R7000 AP Mode First link that popped up gave me exact info: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/23814/~/how-to-manually-configure-the-nighthawk-r7000-router-as-access-point-%28ap-mode%29%3F So try google and see if you can get a hit.

AFF Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 i have my Asus connected to my virgin hub so i connected the R1 to the virgin hub connected the asus to the r1 then logged into 192.168.88.1 for the R1 (wireless) on the device section of the R1 it tell you the ip of connected devices and u can see the asus ip then connect to that ip and change it to ap mode in the settings, might be admin at the bottom, just have a flick in the options if you cant get on the asus, i would hard wire a ethernet cable and connect to default ip which i think is 192.168.1.1 and username and pass and then change it to AP mode and then re connect to the R1 you might need to reboot the R1 to assign IP to it if doesnt work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
