Channel was getting a little busy so I am making a couple threads

steady quarry
#

Thanks

mild hollow
#

The easiest way to not have to do a lot of extra setup is to set one of the routers to bridge mode. This will let the other router control it essentially making a big network vs two smaller networks

#

If this isn't an option we can do it the hard way

steady quarry
#

Should the primary router be the bridge or the secondary router? or does it not matter?

mild hollow
#

Ideally you put the 2ndary router into bridge/ap mode and it just acts as an additional wifi for the original network

steady quarry
#

Okay. I'll look into a tutorial for that, and get back to you when that's been setup or I hit a wall. Thanks for your help thus far.

mild hollow
#

It's very easy do you know what router your 2ndary one is?

#

I can look it up real fast for you

steady quarry
#

My router is not bridge capable

mild hollow
#

That's a bummer. Does it have an Access Point option?

#

What is the model of the router?

steady quarry
#

linksys ea7500

mild hollow
#

Bridge mode is a listed type

steady quarry
#

Oh, the same site told me the only models that support bridge were "Bridge Mode capability (E4200v2, EA2700, EA3500, EA4500) "

#

I'm bad at google fu

mild hollow
#

nearly all routers have bridge mode / ap mode these days

steady quarry
#

Okay, so if it's in bridge mode, what steps do I need to take from here?

#

Just enable port forwarding on the primary router?

mild hollow
# steady quarry Just enable port forwarding on the primary router?

You may not need to enable port forwarding on the primary router. We can test to see if the UPNP works with the primary router. Once the bridge mode takes effect. Reconnect to the network from your computer and we will run the cgnat test again to confirm we only see one router

#

If we only see one router, just restart foundry may make it all just work

#

If it doesn't we setup manual port forwarding on the main router

steady quarry
#

what was that command again?

mild hollow

Carrier Grade Network Address Translation (CGNAT)

CGNAT is a service used by ISPs to decrease the number of IPv4 addresses their networks use. It places an additional router outside the customer's own network and provides them with an internal IPv4 address provided by the company. This often prevents incoming connections on numerous ports.

Confirming the presence of CGNAT

To confirm you are affected by CG NAT, use one of the following commands:

Windows 10: open a powershell window and use the following command
tracert (curl https://ifconfig.me/ip -UseBasicParsing); tracert 8.8.8.8

Mac/Linux: open a terminal and use the following command
traceroute $(curl -4 ifconfig.io); traceroute 8.8.8.8

After the command has completed, please post a screenshot here with the results so a troubleshooter can interpret them.

missing an 8 on the 2nd part

#

tracert 8.8.8.8

Okay give foundry a restart and lets see if UPNP does its deal

steady quarry
#

The best way to check that would be going and looking at this, right?

Kind of! you said my last one looked okay

mild hollow
#

Yep!

#

is likely the admin panel

steady quarry
#

Yeah, now I just need to remember my account details.

mild hollow
#

They are often printed on the bottom of the router if you didn't change the defaults

mild hollow

Any luck?
