How to access wireless bridge from internal network through router with public IP on WAN ?

[Micaak]

Hello,
I would like to ask you for advice in my case.
I have Ubiquiti Nanostation5 Loco which is use as client for connection to my ISP and it is set as bridge to my home network (no NAT, no DHCP). It is followed by Linksys WRT54GL loaded by Shibby Tomato firmware. This Linksys make PPPoE connection and routing data to other PCs, smartphones and switches. WAN IP of Linksys is public. I want to access Ubiquiti from PC behind Linksys but it still fail. I tried many options (cascade routers setup etc.) but without success. Do you have any ideas how to solve this ?

Thanks.

PS: I use Ubiquiti as Client/bridge because Linksys with Tomato is more stable and it have more options for remote access to my NAS.

Have you forwarded ports in order to access it over internet?

I did this once and now i forget exactly how. What is strange is some routers you can get to things like cable modems even when they are on the wan port with no special configuration. Not sure how or why but you will see people saying just open ip x.x.x.x and for certain cable modems.

Since you have a router with third party firmware you should be able to define a secondary IP on the wan port that is in the same subnet range the ubiquiti uses for its management ip. You would set the router to not nat that.

Now if I remember right the namostation has 2 ethernet ports. You should be able to change the management ip to match you lan and just plug it into the lan side. You would have to make sure the nanostation did not forward traffic on that port.

You could also use a combination of this and hook the second nano station port to a secondary "wan" port on your router


The sure is a old linksys router didn't think many people still used those.

Well then you can use mikrotik routers. They are very best in this kind of things and easy to use with command line or GUI. One solution will be if you have 2 different networks, from first network you need to forward your router and point to your public IP... so that you can access it from different internal network or outside network....
I did not undertstand one thing why do you need to access it internally using your public IP... If you are in same networks then you can easily enter into it... make it very clear bro...!!
