FVS338 internet router to comcast
I am trying to use my fvs338 to connect my home network to a comcast cable modem to connect the network to the internet. I had no problem doing it when I was using it on FIOS. we moved and the only ...
I will try your second solution but is there a device that I can use to replace the fvs338 that will allow for the use of ipv6 nat rather than 2 levels of ipv4 on by the comcast device and the second by the netgear device. don't like havinig nat on nat.
Hi RichELMey,
I do not see that the FVS338 supports IPv6 as it is older. I would best guess that you are stuck using IPv4 only. If your behind devices will benefit more using IPv6, please consult your ISP for futher recommendation. Unfotunately, it appears that NETGEAR already announce the EoL for all firewall line, please see their site on this link:

I would still say that you can use IPv4 with your devices with the FVS338. If you want to consider updating to a better firewall asdly you option wouldbe to look at other manufacturer firewalls.
Please let me know your results with my second option.
similar as to the question above we have a flower shop with Spectrum /TWC as the service provider. The ae have a block of 5 usable static IP addresses Their Arris modem is in bridged mode with NAT disabled.I can assign anyone of the static numbers to a PC on the network and itreaches the internet with no problem.When I assign one of the statics to the FVS 338 it saves the configuration but cannot access the internet. I tested the conection rebooted the devices in the correct order. We have the indentical set up working at our other shop I have to be over looking sometihng any help is sincerly appreciated

Hi mullshred,
Please share the 5 static IPs and the model of the modem provided by your ISP and I will make a configuration that might help you get the Internet working. If you could tell me what are the uses of each public IP behind the firewall i could use that to specify your firewall inbound rules, i.e web server or RDP (remote desktop protocol).
