So, here is my dilemma.
I currently have Time Warner Cable and a TWC Home Phone/ Internet modem.
I also don't like paying their lease each month.
Consequently, I am buying my own internet modem. (I'll keep theirs for phone with no charge
)
I choose from their list an Arris Surfboard SB6141 modem (no wifi).
It has enough speed and is a good price.
Now for the problem I enjoy running personal servers, and the SB6141 doesn't have port forwarding options. The TWC Modem did. Also TWC does not allow PPPoE connections. I also use an Apple Airport Extreme 2013 model. Now, I know how to port forward on the airport, but how do I get around the issue of double NAT with the SB6141 not offering port forwarding options and TWC being a stick in the mud (as they like to be)?
I haven't found any solutions other than PPPoE or port forwarding through the modem, which obviously isn't an option. Am I stuck? Or do I need to buy a modem with wifi router capabilities to get port forwarding options, as I have not purchased the SB6141 yet.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!
Sorry for any spelling/grammar mishaps I am writing this at midnight and I am very, very, VERY tired.
