Use of FVS366G Router and Comcast provided Device
I recently upgraded my Comcast Cable Modem/Voice Modem to a new single device SMCD3GNV All-in-One device (Cable Modem/Voice Modem/Router/Wireless Access). I would like to continue to use my Netgear F...
After some reinvestigation it looks like my Comcast Modem/Router was not in Bridge mode. It has an external IP address and is set to DHCP which I assume my Netgear router receives an IP address and then through the Netgear DHCP distributes IP addresses to my local devices.
One question, when I finally set the Comcast Modem to act as a Bridge, I expect it to pass thru the external IP address to the Netgear router. I plan to use dyndns to manage the IP address such that I can log in to my Netgear router from the outside. I also want to setup port forwarding for my iOmega NAS Cloud device. Is that correct?
Thanks for the help,
