How to create ports in firewall using LB1120 Modem?
I am having a really hard time creating firewall ports so I can access connected devices. I have the LB1120 connecting to the internet, then an ethernet cable connecting the LB1120 to the WAN jack on...
Have you tested if these devices work if the router you have is set as a access point?

No. But in desperation, I plugged the Ethernet cable from the LB1120 into one of the LAN jacks on my router INSTEAD of the WAN jack, and now all the devices can see each other and have outgoing access to the internet, so it appears the router is acting like a simple network switch. HOWEVER, I still can not get my LAN to accept incoming traffic, even though I create firewall ports in the LB1120 and in the router. HELP! Again, the only incoming traffic permitted seems to be from Splashtop.
