Hi.
I live in a place where i share WiFi with the landlord. But the reception in the basement is pretty low. So what we did, we purchased a second WiFi Router and hooked it up to the ISP provided WiFi Router.
The Router that came with the ISP is a VoIP WiFi Router with 4 LAN ports. ( VoIP Router FG101R2 (Fiber connected) ) We hooked it up to a Netgear Router WNR2200 (Lan to Lan).
It works great, the Netgear essentially just extends the WiFi by using its WiFi capabilities.
Two SSIDs. They are on the same subnet too, and DHCP is switched off on the Netgear.
How ever, i can not seem to figure out how to open up ports to run services like HTTPD on my machine. I have been reading my eyes out, but i just can not figure it out. I am suspecting i am missing some thing fundamental.
I have tried NAT, and DMZ, but no cowbell.
SSID 1 ISP Router Lan Port <-----CAT5-----> SSID 2 Netgear Lan Port
If any one can help shed some light on the issue, i would be very grateful.
Thanks.
