    How to forward invalid packets to LAN IP / NAT rule on Edgerouter ER3?

    I'm asking this here because I don't think the UI forums get a lot of Edgerouter interest or questions. I want to capture some packets from a specific external (internet/WAN) IP that is hitting my router maybe a few hundred times a day with invalid packets (dropped because of invalid state /...

    I want to extend home LAN to garage via wifi - what am I looking for?

    What changed: For one thing, the Remote PC (Windoze 7) wasn't configured to respond to pings (which is the default setting for win-7 I take it). I changed that - but that initially didn't seem to resolve anything (I recall I still couldn't ping it immediately after making it ping-able). I...

    I want to extend home LAN to garage via wifi - what am I looking for?

    Ok, it's working now. I can ping back and forth between devices connected to both routers.

    I want to extend home LAN to garage via wifi - what am I looking for?

    Nothing connected to wan port of Remote router. Since I'm just testing this setup, I have only 1 device connected to remote router (a pc, call it "Remote PC") and connection is made directly with ethernet cable to one of 4 lan ports on Remote router. IP address of Remote PC is static...

    I want to extend home LAN to garage via wifi - what am I looking for?

    On most routers, for the WAN connection, there usually isin't an option for "No Wan Connection", at least I've never seen that. I've set the LAN IP for both routers so that they're on the same /24 subnet (I thought that was clear in my post). The way I have it set up (again, read my post #9)...

    I want to extend home LAN to garage via wifi - what am I looking for?

    Update: I have established a wireless link between a pair of TP-Link Archer C2 routers as I've explained previously in this thread. I'm calling one of them the "Main" router, and the other the "Remote" router. The Main router is performing PPPoe DSL login on it's WAN side. Nothing is connected...

    Does a thumb drive plugged into a router's USB port count as NAS?

    I'm wondering if a USB-attached hard drive on a router (the vast majority seem to be USB-2) would be sufficient for one or two network IP cameras to record short episodic events (like motion detection) in 4k (H.264 or H.265) video. That's about all I'd want to use such a USB drive for...

    Does a thumb drive plugged into a router's USB port count as NAS?

    I have no experience with file reading / file writing to thumb drives (or even USB hard drives) plugged into the USB port of what seem to be many different routers available today. Does such a file-storage solution count as NAS? Does it have all the same accessibility / visibility (protocals...

    I want to extend home LAN to garage via wifi - what am I looking for?

    The current wifi unit is a combination dsl modem / router / wifi (off hand I don't remember the brand but I think it's Netis) and I don't use the wifi part of it and I'm having problems with it and so I'll probably just use it as a dsl modem in bridge mode. I don't necessarily need *extreme*...

    I want to extend home LAN to garage via wifi - what am I looking for?

    A local store is selling the tp-link ac750 archer c2 for $50. I could pick up a pair of them (use one of them as my home's primary LAN router assuming it can do pppoe to my dsl modem). This website has instructions on how to do "WDS Bridging" which I believe would apply to the AC750 Archer C2...

    I want to extend home LAN to garage via wifi - what am I looking for?

    I have some wired devices (4k IP cameras) that I want to install in / on a garage that's about 50 ft from my house. The cameras are wired (not wireless). So I want a wireless link to the lan in my house. I see various terms like wireless bridge, wireless repeater, range extenders, etc. So...
