2 routers, parental control need & problems accessing subnet devices
Hello, I have acquired a R7000 for parental control. I have connected it to my IAP modem that is also a router, which can't be be set in bridge or AP mode. R7000 must be kept in router mode to enabl...
Gosh, I thought my last post was the one containing the requested details but I don't it anymore... will repost
michaelkenward That would be also a nightmare to replace the modem as it also handles TV and phone with unknow protocols. Replacing the modem would probably lead to the loss of these services. There must be a solution to use the parental control of the R7000 behind a router modem with changing this modem ... at least I hope

Try the DMZ option with the Modem back in Router mode with the R7000.

I got a PM with some details, including this:
[...] Unfortunately, it is not possible to create routes on this
modem (orange livebox). [...]

The problem is not so much "a Firewall" as it is "NAT". My error
(one of them?) was thinking about a generic router, not specifcally
about an R7000.

Apparently so, and that does seem to be the big problem.
Interestingly, my D7000 (V1.0.1.64_1.0.1) has such an option:
ADVANCED > Internet Setup > NAT (Network Address Translation) :
{ Enable | Disable }. ("D7000" _sounds_ like "R7000", but they have
some interesting differences.)
My (current, revised) understanding is that, with NAT enabled, port
forwarding would be about all you could do to get traffic through the
R7000 to subnet-2.
You seem to have gotten a near-perfect combination of missing
features on these two boxes.
