TD-W8950N behind router - can't even ping it.
Model : TD-W8950N
I have an old Zyxel modem that connects to the internet behind a Zywall 5 router, but the modem is playing up so I thought I'd replace it with a TP-Link TD-W8950N.
I've replicated the setup of the Zyxel modem on the TD-W8950N, but when I put it in place I can't even ping the TD-W8950N from the LAN.
I suspect the problem is that in the NAT menu of the Zyxel modem there is an 'All ports' rule set to NAT everything (that does not have otherwise specified NAT rules) to the WAN interface of the Zywall 5. However, I can find so such option in the TD-W8950N.
Am I correct that this will be the problem - and can I resolve it with this particular modem or do I need another model?
Thanks for any help.
