Hi Richard.
Check which WiFi Channel you are using, perhaps it is conflicting
with a neighbours signal. Ensure that the WiFi is turned off on
the Netgear also.
Hi
Thanks for the reply. I haven't put the Netgear to modem yet. I
just wanted to check re speeds. On my phone when connected to
the internet via the Netgear I am told I am getting a download
speed of 11.8 mbps and upload of 0.95 mbps but when connected
via the Draytek I am getting a time out error. This is happening
to all devices on the network. We are getting very poor speeds.
1. Is the Draytek and Netgear fighting somehow?
2. If I turn the Netgear into a modem only will that help?
Update. I have just connected to the Draytek with 3.53 mbps
download and 0.05 mbs upload.
Thanks

The central systems analyst of the NHS says that there is no

setup is just fine so long as you are not allowing incoming
services. any incoming services will need to pass through both
NAT's, essentially doubling the work. but we are talking
seconds to minutes to achieve on both.
You're fine exactly as you are Rich, the only benefit will be
opening incoming ports on one firewall instead of two.

Hi All
Updated the Netgear firmware today and I can now turn it
into a modem only. Before I do that I wanted to ask if when
I do that we will all lose connectivity. It shouldn't do
because we are all connecting via the Draytek. But then I am
confused about Giles' suggestion about turning the Draytek
into a PPPoE. I have tried to read and understand and all
that I have read back-up Giles' suggestion. However, just
doing something appears to backfire on me at times and so
before flipping a switch:
1. Can I turn the Netgear to modem only and stay connected
please?
2. Once I flip Draytek into PPPoE will we stay connected
please?
Many thanks

So, I now want to switch off all
functionality in the Netgear and let
the Draytek take over, using the Netgear simply as a
modem.

"Is there a way to set the DGN2200v4 as a modem only?
Yes. It is now added on firmware version 1.0.0.46. It can
be seen under
Device Mode on Advanced setup."
Seems like your first job is to make sure the firmware is
up to date on
both devices and then put the Netgear into modem mode
surely. It'll make
the subsequent steps easier as well.
Cheers
I speculatively imagine that if you put the Netgear into
modem mode then you will probably need to use PPPoE on the
Draytek rather than DHCP.
This would be better as the Draytek should then get the
public IP address on the WAN interface rather than the
double-NAT in my last post.
