Hi giugeo85,
Welcome to the community!
Is the Frizt!box behind another modem or is it acting as your gateway?

Fritzbox is Connect directly ti ADSL and the firewall have an ip static with set exposed host ( in fritzbox)
Thanks

Hi giugeo85,
I see, so basically the Fritz!Box is acting as your gateway. Aside from the firewall are there any other devices connected to the Fritz!box? What firmware version is currently running on the firewall by the way?
Thanks,

Hi JohnRo,
i update the firewall at version "FVS318Gv2 Firmware Version 4.3.4-2" ( http://kb.netgear.com/31413/FVS318Gv2-Firmware-Version-4-3-4-2?cid=wmt_netgear_organic ).
Only firewall is connect to fritzbox.
Thanks

Hi giugeo85,
I'm thinking you could just put the Fritz!Box on bridge mode and let the FVS318Gv2 act as the main router. When you setup DMZ did you point it to the IP address of the FVS318Gv2.
Thanks,
- giugeo85AspirantHi JohnRo,
The fritzbox not have the dmz but the exposed host... but a now I think is different :(
I want try with directly modem.
In the next days I try.
Thanks
Giusepep - giugeo85AspirantHi JohnRo,
I confirm with different modem wok!!
For the bandwidth question are you pertaining to tracking the bandwidth usage by IP adress or MAC? Yes correct
Because a i found a general traffic, but not for ip.
Thanks

Hi Giuseppe,
It appears that there is some sort of incompatibility with the firewall and the Fritz!box modem or could be something that needs to be changed on the previous mode. I know I have seen that specific feature (Logging bandwidth usage by MAC) but not on our firewall. I have checked our firewalls and it does not have this specific feature. What you can do to make sure that no one is hogging all of the bandwidth is to create a bandwidth profile (see page 58 of the user manual).
Thanks,
- giugeo85AspirantThanks for help!
Bye
Giuseppe
