Re: alternative to Sharedband

reply to bkwyatt98
From what i've seen of the Sharedband solution it won't "bridge", but it will operate a 1:1 Static NAT, because they use multiple modems it would be incredibly difficult to bridge the connection apparently.

They can also offer public IP ranges (/30, /29) where needed.

maybe i am describing this wrong basically the setup i want is this i have modem 1 and router 1 modem 1 is bridged to router 1 the i have modem 2 and router 2 setup the same way router 1 and router 2 are connected together then i plug a cable from router 1 or 2 it doesn't matter into my wan port on my main router and my main router acts as the DHCP server not the sharedband routers.

huh?!?!?! That isn't clear to me.

When I had sharedband, I had their cable plugged into the WAN port of my router.

thats how i want it. i have not got sharedband yet i want to make sure my main router a Dlink-DSR500 can act as the main DHCP server and run the network and all the sharedband does is provide the internet

Yes, you can use that router.

Their device will have a DHCP server, your router will get its WAN IP address from them. It will take a little setting up, they will help you. You will need to forward all traffic to your single WAN IP on their virtual router. Then you can use your router for everything, just like normal.
