Hi,
I recently moved off my cable companies legacy package into their internet-based IP TV service. As part of my legacy package, I was able to get 2 IP addresses assigned by the modem, and thus I ran 2 separate networks behind the modem. One for my main internet and key devices, another router that I had an OpenVPN setup on the router and connected certain devices to. At least I believe I was getting 2 IP addresses because both routers were able to connect to the WAN from the modem.
I've since learned I can only have 1 IP address now with the new service (the 2nd IP address is apparently reserved for the TV boxes and other services from the cable company). Is there a way to mimic this setup with this constraint? I have my new modem in bridge mode and running an Orbi Mesh network that my devices and cable boxes connect to. When I try to connect the 2nd router to the modem it cannot get an internet connection. I verified the ISP is limiting this because I can alternate the routers (so it's not a router issue), but only 1 of them can connect to the internet.
Is this setup possible? I want the devices that connect to the 2nd router / wifi access point to connect via the VPN on that router to the internet.
Thank you in advance.
