Good morning, thanks for letting me join.
I'm having problems with a TP-link router I have just installed inlace of my ISP Sky Q router. The setup was easy, and broadband is working however I wanted the TP-Link Archer VR400 to be in Bridge Mode and feed the Google WiFi nodes I have around the house. I bought the VR400 to avoid the performance issues of having 2 routers on the same provider, however thats what I'm currently running at the moment just with the WiFi turned off on the TP-Link.
After spending days looking for ways to get the VR400 into bridge mode and to allow the Google nodes to provide the correct access to ports for external viewing of my CCTV I am now completely at a loss. When I set the router up in Bridge mode, I seem to completely lose the internet at the modem (VR400).
Is anyone familiar or able to guide me through a way to sort this out? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.
Rob.
(It might help if I put the situation I'm currently trying to sort onto paper...
I have set up a new CCTV system and I am at the point of setting up the mobile device application. In the house on the wifi it works fine, however I went out later on in the day and it said the system was offline using 4G phone signal. After some tinkering I found I needed to open up ports 80, 8000, 443 and 554. Now I'm struggling because the TP-link router cant see the IP address that the NVR is on, as that is conected to the Google Wifi. So the router is currently refusing to allow a rule to open those ports, from what I can gather.
So what I was wondering was can I just set the TP-Link VR400 up to be solely a Modem, no firewal or anything. Allow the Google WiFi nodes to set up port forwarding rules etc and I wont have the future issue of having a Double NAT should someone want to plug a playstation into the network.
Hope this makes sense.)
