FVS336GV2 Nat or Routing ?
I am trying to secure our home network a bit more before it gets "tested". I understand NAT, and I understand Routing. What I don't understand is how the FVS336GV2 can do routing without NAT or if...
- I'm not so sure that you understand NAT or why it's necessary.
Answer this question - do you need to share a single public ip between multiple devices - or in the case of a dual WAN router such as the FVS336G, two public ip addresses?
If the answer is yes, then classic routing is not an option, you MUST use NAT and this is why you're unlikely to see a comparison between the two - consider them mutually exclusive options, that do different things.
If you used the FVS336 as a classic router connected to the internet (and yes, you can use it that way), you're going to need a public routable ip address for every device on it's LAN interface
Top of my head I may didn't pointed but right tab but you already saw what you should have seen so
