Hi!
So my setup is like this:
LAN output modem with fiber optic input ----> mi router's wan port --> my devices
For reference the modem is this : https://www.syrotech.com/Product/EPON-ONU-SY-GOPON-1000R-ONU-1GE-ONU.html
And the router is TP-Link MiWiFi Mi Router 3C Model R3L
What I do not understand is if I login into the router and see the public IP, it's something like 10.20.xxx.xxx. But if I go to, for example, ipchicken.com it shows it to be like 103.57.xx.xxx
Moreover, using this setup, I cannot access the admin area of the modem. If I put the default gateway shown in the above screenshot, it goes nowhere. The only way I can login into the modem's admin area is if I directly connect my computer to the modem's output LAN Port. Now, I have a free ddns.net domain name that is alloted the 103.57.xx.xxx address automatically using the MiWiFi's ddns option.
I am unable to understand why those two IPs are different and how am I supposed to port forward using this setup? Should this domain point to the 10.20.xxx.xxx address or the 103.57.xx.xxx address so that I can reach my devices using the internet? With my previous connection which wasn't fiber, the 103.57.xx.xxx address would be the only address I had to deal with and it was assigned to the ddns.net domain and port forwarding would work. But here, I do not know what's going on!
Thanks for your time!
