How do I set up a second router behind the ISP router for port forwarding to NVR cameras?
  • I was told before by another tech support I had to use a second router to do port forwarding?
  • Do the ISP have to make changes in router 1 to make port forwarding work?
  • I was told as a customer I cannot make changes to router 1?
  • The network cable connection between routers is Wan-to-Lan or Lan-to-Lan?
  • Do I need to turn off DHCP on router 2?
  • I need (router 2) IP to be 192.168.1.138 same network as (router 1) 192.168.1.1?
  • Will I be able to login to both routers separately to make changes?
  • My NVR has an active DDns do I need anything more to protect this setup from ISP IP changes?
  • Can you send me a clear written guide or link FAQ for this type of 2 router Setup?
Router 1 ISP (Spectrum)
IP:192.168.1.1

Wired Lan-to-Lan
Router 2: TP-Link Archer C7

IP:192.168.1.138

I get internet on a connected PC, but cannot login to router 2 and cannot port set up forwarding. This setup is not working?
 
  • After resetting router 2 and setting static IP in same range of router 1 before connecting router 1 has made it so I can have Internet and login to both routers :)
  • Wiring routers Lan-to-Lan made all go well so far?
  • Now I have to do port forwarding with DMZ on router 1 I think? Tomorrow.
 
i would talk to the ISP's support, you may find they will provide the login details allowing you to use your own router or provide use access to the router....
