3rd Party Router With Digital Voice

[MrC22]

Looking to make my Asus the main router and the Vodafone Hub as a passthrough. Came across the following on another forum -

QUOTE:

On the Smart hub disable, DHCP, Firewall, UPNP, Wifi and smart setup (everything disabled) - only connect the digital voice phone first.

Connect the Netduma to the Ethernet Port1 of the Smart Hub, then to the WAN of the Netduma. Create a static IP on the WAN setup in the Netduma, i.e 192.168.1.1, Gateway 192.168.1.254 and both DNS as 192.168.1.254 and then add that static IP to the Smart Hub 2 (192.168.1.1) place this in DMZ and also add a port fowarding Rule 1:65535 (BOTH) TCP and UDP to the static IP of the Netduma (192.168.1.1).

My Netduma then manages DHCP under 192.168.88.1

Save

Turn everything off

Turn on the Smart Hub 2 let it connect, check the phone is connected, the boot up the Netduma, this should then connect and allow internet access, you can then add a AP direct to the Netduma.

Any 3rd Party router should work so long as you can create a static WAN ip on that router, and then add this to the smart hub 2.

My setup has been like this for months and is working faultlessly.

How do i go about creating a static IP on the WAN setup on the Asus router ?

Do i have to obtain the static IP from Vodafone ?

@Jayach This would be a double NAT setup with the members own router behind the vodafone router which is connected to the ONT. I know, it's that quoted text is so badly written.

Not really, I'm suggesting they may have had the Vodafone router connected to the ONT and so it had authenticated, They then (maybe) disconnected it from the ONT and connected the ASUS. If they then connected the Vodafone router to the ASUS LAN, the ATA in the Vodafone would already be configured and so may work.

The double NAT doesn't come into it as the Vodafone won't be issuing any more IP addresses.

Just me speculating why it worked for a while, and then didn't.

Edit to my previous post, not being able to edit any more:

I'm not referring to the original quoted text, but that they say the got it working originally by following the YouTube video. (which I haven't watched, as YouTube drive me up the wall with its "press the bell" and other crap)

Jayach that setup i linked to 100% works. Everything then would go through the 3rd party router. It was also tested on a video games console at 5Ghz - everything ran fine.

However what i'm looking for is a setup like Ripshod is talking about whereby i can just plug a DV adapter into a third party router. Sooner or later ISP;s will have to change their stance or else OFCOM will be inundated with an avalanche of complaints.
