ATT Uverse gives N66U local ip for WAN ip???Help

[chrisk]

Im trying to get my n66 setup with the uverse router but i keep getting a local ip for a wan ip and cant access the network from outside the local network.

I have searched and applied all the settings. I also turned off the 2wire wifi and firewall. I had everything working perfect but i just moved and received a new uverse router.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Chris

Turn the 2wire firewall back on. There's no need to disable it.

You have at least two options to accomplish what you want to do.

option1: Use DMZ-plus on 2wire. That way, all unsolicited traffic goes to the Asus router. Contact AT&T if you don't know how to do that.

option2: Use double router portforwarding.

Try the links below if you don't know how to do that.

option3 (maybe?): put 2wire in bridged mode. Not sure if that will work because I don't know much about Uverse and 2wire.

I have Uverse here and use option 1 (DMZ-plus on the 2wire)

I did option 1 but my public ip is still a local ip.

Yes, it will still be a local IP address, but you will be able to access the Asus router remotely by using the public IP address of the 2wire. . Use ddns if you need to.

If you're talking about a business class situation then read this or call AT&T:

I use a rt-n66u with Merlin's firmware and a Linksys e4200 before on Uverse. I put the router in the DMZ plus on the RG and plug the router's wan port into the RG. router should be set for DHCP on the wan connection and you should then get what ever IP address your RG is getting from Uverse on the router as well. Lease will probably be around 10 minutes and if you watch can see the TTL count down and renew.

It sounds like you have not done the DMZ plus correctly. I have had issues with this. There is a writeup on the ATT site somewhere on doing this I believe. My current IP address shown on the WAN connection is the same as the IP address on the RG.

One thing I forgot to add. You need to readdress your router to something other the 192.168.1.1. The RG uses 192.168.1.0/24 and gets things confused if you do not change the router to say 192.168.2.1. That is what I use. Of course this changes the IP address range for the lan/wireless side to 192.168.2.0/24 address range.
Then it should connect.
