Not a hack, just poorly documented functionality. There are also other ways to do this, but this one is the easiest. Assuming the old one is more secure than the new router, this will also improve security. Might not be needed, but in case something happens you want to be sure that you don't expose the wrong host to the Internet.Īdd the IP address from above to the DMZ zone.Įvery time your IP will be accessed, the ports exposed to the outside will be the ones on your old router. Write down your old router's MAC address, either from the 'Status -> LAN -> DHCP Clients List' or from its label.Īdd the MAC address to the static leases list, just to be sure that the old router will always get the same IP. You can log in with your supplied standard username and password, no need for admin rights for this. This is needed for things like web hosting, ftp server, some chat clients, torrents, etc. To get around the issue of the (old) router not being accessible from outside, the solution is to add that router into the DMZ setting. The unit is very similar to the AN5506-04 model ( ), except it has only 2 UTP ports, only 1 phone port and no CATV interface. The disadvantages: only one LAN port available only 2.4GHz outdated software, locked-down interface, no easy way to expose a second router. The advantages would be: integrated WiFi, security and firewall.
I recently had to work with a home fiber router that was supplied by the ISP, the FiberHome AN5506-02-F.Ĭompared to the previous internet access solution, which was based on a cable modem and required the user to use their own router, the new solution has both advantages and disadvantages.
