My home net is 192.168.200.0/24 and I have a GL-SFT1200 in repeater mode to connect three wired devices in our basement. These three devices receive a 192.168.8.x address and can access the internet just fine. Now I want to configure NAT so that I access at least the web interfaces of these devices from my home net. What is the source zone when in repeater mode? Tried all three but none of them work.
Thanks!
Does the Opal support Extender instead of Repeater? If that's the case, go with Extender instead which will disable NAT.
Repeater is the common name for linking input and output (both can be either wifi or ethernet) , The "Network mode" however then can be 'router' (with its own local DHCP and network 192.168.8.0/24) or 'extender', where each device gets an IP address from the uplink DHCP. However with extender they share the same MAC address, what can create problems.
For the 'router' mode, which includes NAT (same IP address and same MAC address for the uplink) , corresponding 'Port Forwards' are needed in the Firewall to reach the LAN devices. Each different IP (TCP/UDP) port can point to a different local IP and port.
Ok, I got NAT working. Source zone is "WAN" when in repeater mode. You both are right, extender mode is what I really need. Works, thanks!
