Re: [44net] ISP Router and Pi Cohabitation

I have replaced my FiOS border router with a OpenWRT Based device. The Verizon border router can be replaced, as long as you receive Internet via Ethernet (versus MOCA/coax). If you have set-top boxes, you must use a MOCA device for your LAN connection. Prior to swapping my border device, I used my Verizon device (FiOS Quantum Gateway G1100). It permitted forwarding of IPENCAP; but I had an issue caused by unknown reasons: - at intermittent times, the FiOS router would loose the IPENCAP forward - it would simply disappear from the firewall entries - the only determination I could make is that the ISP was remote controlling the router and deleting the IPENCAP forward To solve this, I made my OpenWRT device the border device and NATed/IGMP proxies the MOCA (coax) LAN via the ISP's router. 73, - Lynwood KB3VWG
