I receive internet through a Hauwei HG531s (ADSL2+ modem + wireless router). Because this router is very limited when it comes to things like QoS, I got a Asus RT-AC66U router. The Asus router is connected to one of the LAN ports on the Huawei router and I use it as the only wireless router in the house as I’ve disabled the WLAN on the Huawei router.
What I want to do is use dyndns to get access to the web interface of the Asus router when I’m not at home.
Here’s how my network is presently connected:
1. The Huawei router connects to the ISP through PPPoE. I already know my username and password. When I’m connected, I notice that I’m behind a carrier grade NAT because the Huawei router gets assigned an address such as 10.x.x.x (which is a private address) and my public address is something completely different. Here’s a screenshot of the Huawei router as configured by the ISP.
2. The Asus router is connected to the first LAN port of the Huawei router which is already assigned a static IP of 192.168.1.200. I can access the web interface of the Huawei router through 192.168.1.1.
3. The Asus router through which everyone gets WiFi has DHCP enabled. I can access the web interface of the Asus router through 192.168.6.1.
Any time I want to access the internet, I go through 192.168.6.1 -> 192.168.1.1 -> 10.200.144.1 -> 41.205.231.221.
What I first tried to do was to make my Huawei router (ISP modem) transparent. I tried to set it up in bridge mode and connect to my ISP through the Asus router. Here’s a screenshot of the Huawei router working in bridge mode. However, I was not able to connect. I got "Authentication failed! Please check PPPoE Username and PPPoE Password". So, I thought maybe my account is tied to the mac address of the Huawei router. Luckily, I can change the mac address of the Asus router, which I changed to that of the Huawei router. This time, I got "No response from your Internet Service Provider(ISP), please consult your ISP." This might be due to mac address conflict, although I’m not sure.
I returned everything back to normal and tried to DMZ my Asus router on the Huawei router so that I can use dyndns. No luck there. I then tried to configure dyndns directly on the Huawei router. Again, no luck.
So, I have two questions:
1. How can I make the Huawei router transparent? In other words, why am I getting authentication failed when configured the Huawei router as a bridge and used the same username and password ?
2. How can I use dyndns in such scenarios ?
