Arris BGW210-700, IP passthrough, and subnets

I've got an Arris BGW210-700 residential gateway for an AT&T fiber connection to my house. Under Firewall > IP Passthrough, I have Allocation Mode set to Default Server and Default Server Internal Address set to the IP address of my own router (an Apple Time Capsule).



This set-up works, but I'd prefer the BGW210-700 to be in pure Passthrough mode, i.e., assign the publicly routable IP address to the WAN port of my Time Capsule. Currently, there's a double NAT happening because I'd prefer to configure my WiFi devices from the Time Capsule, so it manages the 192.168.2.x subnet for WiFi.



I can set Allocation Mode to Passthrough and Passthrough Fixed MAC Address to that of my Time Capsule.



My question is: if I do this and the publicly routable IP address is "passed through," then how can I access the BGW210-700 itself? (Currently, I access it via http://192.168.1.254.) I tried something like this once and the BGW210-700 became inaccessible. (I had to reset it to factory defaults to recover.)



The BGW210-700 has 4 ethernet ports on the back: one goes to the Time Capsule. Ideally, I want the other 3 ports to be on the 192.168.1.x subnet and the Time Capsule to serve the 192.168.2.x subnet without double NAT'ing (which IP Passthrough should give me). The devices on the two different subnets never need to talk to each other (with the exception of me being able to access the BGW210-700 itself via WiFi > Time Capsule).



Pictorially:



Fiber -> ONT -> BGW210-700

                * LAN: 192.168.1.254

                |

                +-> Other misc devices (via ethernet cables)

                |   * LAN: 192.168.1.x

          How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

          up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7. The problem consists of a number of factors, please find the details below: The supplier of our POS application will only deliver an application that is hard-coded to run in a 1024:768 4:3 format. The hardware we are using is a POS unit from HP that has a built-in 16:9 touch-screen. The employees using this solution is not supposed to see nor have access to anything but the POS application.

          QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

          Image
          1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
