Thanks. Someone in another forum suggested pfsense and I am looking into this.

Problem is resolved. dd-wrt does exactly what I need :)

tell that to all the ISPs who do exactly this :)

Really, OK. The services I am running are designed to use ports on the WAN. They are specifically designed to allow the WAN to access the LAN. There is no pain and lots of gain. Some of the ports I use will be identical on each device. Something port forwarding cannot resolve. Some have...

I have been doing this for 20+ years and no-one has hacked me yet. Nothing they can take in any case, not even a suspect photograph. First time I have had to do this on Cable and I usually use a real ISP to do this, A&A being my favourite. Not available where I am unless I want a 16Mbit line. No...

I wish I did have it already but will not get it until the day of install (a week or two). Already been using the R8000 with the current connection, though I have just removed it and set the ISP router/modem combo back to router mode from modem mode. I have a strategy now though. The new ISP...

There is no modem. Well there is but it is built into the router. These are real static IP addresses. I will be getting a block of 13 usable public IP addresses (the 13 number comes after the routers IP address, and broadcast and network addresses (definitely) have been taken into account. So...

Actually I think I have just answered my own question and my opening post was wrong? Of course the AP does not need to support disabling NAT as it does not use it. Doh! Still unsure if it will pass packets from public IP Addresses but I would not think there is any reason why not. I am fairly...

If I got a second router, with WIFI, it would not be any old one as i want a reasonably reliable connection ;) By ports I do not mean physical ports, I mean TCP/UDP ports. The router has 4 physical ports I believe, of which I only need 3 (2 servers and the AP). All other devices have to connect...

I have done this before. The router then had WIFI built in so there was not a problem with needing an AP. The router I will be getting directly from the ISP is going to be setup with the public IP addresses. Unfortunatley it does not have WIFI. Hence the need for an AP that supports public IP...

More than two and a couple of web servers, two NAS both serving media files on the same ports. A coupe of xboxes too. It is complicated and I just have a preference for not using NAT. The easiest way to do this is with public IP addresses. Plus I have now signed a contract for 2 years so I...

Well apart from my dislike for NAT I have several devices that need to be access remotely using the same ports.

I have been asking this question, in similar way, in numerous forums, so apologies if you have read it elsewhere. Not received a single response that answers the question yet, so hoping the experts here can help :) Also waiting on a response from NetGear support. Short question: Is there an AP...
