Nighthawk R7960P Preventing intranet services (SSH, Bounjour, dropping packets)
My setup is the Nighthawk R7960P sitting behind the AT&T provided all-in-one modem with the wi-fi turned off. The nighthawk is connected with its WAN to the LAN of the AT&T router. My reasoning for t...
The effect you are fighting ref. your RasPi and the random access does very well indicate there are multiple devices with the same IP address ou your network (LAN and WLAN).
Leaving the names alone (no clue what Netgear is riding since they have added this attached device detection): Are the systems on the network with fixed IP addresses? If all devices are DHCP, has everything be cold booted, starting with the router? Check the view with each device coming back to the network, review each device config, ...
I would like to add some info. I set up a port forward for 22 and was able to successfully SSH into the raspberry pi through the external IP but not the internal (10.0.0.x)
the BGW320-500 is a pretty new device from what I can tell.
Have you tried leaving it in router mode and putting the netgear in access point mode?
Maybe the BGW320-500's passthrough mode is sketchy.
Yeah, its a WiFi 6 device.
Wouldn't that ruin the point of using the nighthawk? The devices are directly next to each other. If external connections work but internal don't, it seems like the nighthawk is blocking certain ports under the covers.
I would like to add that this has not always been the case. It is relatively recently that I've not been able to connect to the printer/raspberry pi. And it used to be intermittent where a restart would resolve the issue."ruin the point of it?"
Depends on what you're using it for. If you're using armor/qos/parental controls/ then sure it would.
But if you're just using it for the wifi/ethernet connection, access point mode isn't going to change those.
I don't know much about the att router you have whether its solid/sketchy but its worth trying. If its passthrough is sketchy, it can cause issues on the internal network.
