Any danger in configuring TP-Link AC-2300 router in DMZ mode behind Pace 5268 and opening all ports
... on Pace gateway? Will the TP-Link AC2300 router's firewall provide sufficient protection since it will now have a public ip? In this configuration, if I turn RG's wireless off, will the only way to access settings then be by directly connecting a pc via ethernet? Can I setup an additional router as access point for the TP-Link AC2300 in this configuration without security risks? Can I setup another router (AC1350) subnet double-natted in this configuration without issue? (I have 1GB Fiber plan.)
Pace 5268 AC (192.168.1.254) DHCP enabled
/ \
TP-Link AC2300 TP-Link AC1350
(static 192.168.1.1) (static 192.168.2.1)
DHCP disabled DHCP enabled
|
Additional router as
access point to extend
range in large house.
Bridge - AP Mode
(static 192.168.1.2)
Are there any potential problems with this setup? Thanks.
