Hello,
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to run such a setup ?
The red part. Basically in addition to the router having the public IP and the modem only acting as a modem, I want to be able to access the modem's interface and telnet by having neither to:
1) Connect to the modem's wireless network.
2) Connect to the modem's LAN ports.
What I want is for the router to act as a LAN client for the modem so I can access the modem while connected to the router's network. But I still don't want this to be done over the WAN connection since if I do that, the public IP will be given to the modem and I will lose some functionality provided by DD-WRT.
I think some bridging stuff can do that ?
The final setup will be:
WAN connection (modem-router bridge):
Modem: No IP, only ADSL modem.
Router: Public IP.
LAN connection:
Between modem and router:
Modem: 192.168.1.1 (host)
Router: 192.168.1.2 (client)
Between router and home devices:
Router: 192.168.0.1 (host)
Devices: 192.168.0.X (clients)
Devices will be able to access the modem by typing 192.168.1.1.
Thanks.
