Hi,
I just bought my ASUS RT AC66U to add to my current setup and I would like to use the Ai Disk features (accessing my files via FTP). However I am having problems setting up the DDNS. The asus router always give me an "Invalid Ip" error. Also, there is a note that says DDNS cannot work in a multiple-NAT environment.
My current setup:
Master modem/router (Thomson Cable modem/router provided by my ISP)WAN : Dynamic Ip from my isp
IP: 192.168.1.1
DHCP : Disable
Asus Router (RT AC66U)
WAN Connection Type : Static IP
WAN IP : 192.168.1.2
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.1.1
DNS 1: 192.168.1.1
DNS 2: 8.8.8.8
LAN IP : 192.168.2.1
Subnet : 255.255.255
DHCP : Enabled
DHCP Range : 192.168.2.10 - 192.168.2.100
Gateway : 192.168.2.1
DNS 1 : 192.168.2.1
DNS 2 : 192.168.1.1
I have an ethernet cable from the LAN port of my modem to the WAN port of my ASUS router. I understand that this is a double NAT after doing many researches online. I have found many solution online but non suited what I want.
Some solution that are not optimal for me
1. Disable the modem's router function so I dont have double NAT. I cannot do this with the current model of my modem/router supllied from my isp.
2. Use the modem/router as a DHCP and disable the DHCP on the ASUS router and operate the ASUS router as an Access Point mode. I also cannot do this as I believe I need to be operating my ASUS router in "wireless router" mode to use the Aidisk features.
My last resort would be to get a new modem that does not have a router function so the WAN IP on my ASUS router will have a public IP address instead of a private one.
Is there any way to get around this problem without having to go out and buy a new cable modem?
Any help would be greatly appreaciated
Thanks,
Tony
