Modem and Router in cascade

Maurizio

Occasional Visitor
Hi.
I use the original Italian Telecom Modem to connect to the 30Mb Fiber internet. Then I use the AC68U as a router. I disabled on teh modem all NAT, DHCP, etc. and all is working.
The router gets its own WAN IP and the modem has its (I can have up to 4 IP if I am not mistaken).

Now, I was wondering if it would be possible to let a LAN IP in my home network to go out bypassing the AC68U and going straight with the modem IP or a new one. This device is connected through a cable to a switch and the the switch goes to the router, so I cannot connect it directly to the modem.

Is there an IPtables solution somewhere?

thanks,

M
 
To be able to route your own IP addresses you must own a block of IP addresses. Private IP addresses are automatically dropped by your ISP routers. You get one routed IP address from your ISP which is assigned to your router. You can use this IP address to route on the internet. You can usually rent a block of 5 IP addresses from your ISP which will route on the internet.
 
Second thought... Can i prioritize the traffic, to the max, between a lan IP and the router or the lan IP and a web streaming address (iptv) ?

Thanks
