Bridged Wireless Router with Static IP doesn't appear on NVG589

OK so I got it to work, but not by using filtering.  Since I realized my error that I needed to point to the DVR and not to the router, the DVR being physically connected, the NVG589 sees it as a device on the network and thus makes it available for NAT/Gaming rules.  So I added the ports and pointed to the DVR and all is good 🙂

Thanks for your help!

Hi @dark661 ,

I am sorry about the inconveniences. When it comes to creating a port forwarding rule, it only allows you to select from the DHCP pool of the private IPs. There is a way to still get this to work. You can either setup your device in passthrough by following the instructions here, or you can create a packet filter rule by going to Firewall > Packet Filter.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

I don't want to use that router as my main router so can't do Passthrough.

How would I use the Packet Filtering to route specific ports to an IP?

Could you explain this in more detail?  Are you saying that only part of your network is behind this other router, and other networked devices are/will be connected directly to the Residential Gateway?

Correct.  The router I'm talking about is only serving one device (an IP camera), hence I need to be able to allow certain ports to flow freely between this router and another device on the residential gateway that is basically capturing (recording) the data from the camera.  This was no problem on our old RG.

For adding packet filter rules for passing traffic, once you are in the packet filter options,

1. Click on Add a 'Pass' Rule
2. Change the IP Version if necessary
3. Click Add Match and select Destination IP Address - Fill in the IP address needed
4. Click Add Match and choose protocol - Choose the appropriate protocol
5. Click Add Match and select the Destination port or source port, depending on what  you know. It will probably be destination port - Choose the ports
6. Click on the box next to the rule to enable it.

Hope this helps.

That doesn't seem to work.  Here's the config I entered:

192.168.1.210 is the camera DVR I'm trying to point to from an Android app and it's not connecting with this configuration.  Even if I use a simple TCP 8080 for web interface access it doesn't work either.

Originally I thought I had to point to the router I have that has a camera connected to it but I was mistaken, it's the camera DVR itself (which has a static IP as well), which is connected physically to the NVG589.
