Hi Thanks for all the replies thus far. My goal today was to install the hardware and make it work which it is now doing. Thus far I have switched off wifi on the Netgear and it is now cabling into the Draytek which is providing wifi around the house. It is nice having numerous device connected and no lag! So, it would be easy for me to sit back and admire what has been accomplished but I believe some might suggest to do more! Can I have a vote please? Safest option is to leave it be but I
am already aware of the router's power capability. So leave be or
switch Netgear into modem mode and then configure the Draytek to
do all the work. I must admit that I am tending towards that. It
means the Draytek could be left on if or when we get cable or
fibre. It would be an easy install. Can Giles explain a bit more about PPPoE please? On 06/11/2018 4:14 pm, mr meowski

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.Exactly comrade! Most of you seem to know these Draytek devices considerably better than me so we're entrusting Rich's successful network reconfiguration into your capable hands... |
