Dlink Router Vpn

[Ronald]

Irecently purchased an Orbi RBK50 system to improve the WIFI in my home, I originally set it up in AP mode and everything works well, however in this configuration I cannot use any of the Orbi router settings like disabling connected devices etc.

I would like to setup the Orbi in Router mode and use my DLink DSL2870B as a modem only so as not to get any conflicts, double NAT etc, however I cannot work out how to do this. I have tried setting up the Orbi in Router mode and everything appears to work, but I'm not sure this is the correct way to set up.

I have been through the DLink manual a number of times but I can't work out how to proceed, is it ok to continue with the Orbi in router mode connected to the DLink modem/router without disabling the router part or will this cause issues down the track?

If you bridge the DSL Modem, you need to input your DSLs PPPoE user name and PW for your account into the Orbi routers UI. You need to see if the Orbi supports PPPoE connections first of. I don't see PPPoE in my UI.

If it doesn't, then you can keep the DSL modem/router in router mode and use it's DMZ for the IP address it give the Orbi router on it's WAN port. Then you can use the Orbi router in router mode.

Be sure to check that the DSL modem is using a different IP address for it's LAN port. If it's using 192.168.1.1 then this conflics with the Orbi routers default IP address which is the same. You can change the IP address ON the Orbi router to something different. 192.168.0.1 or .2.1.

Unfortunately this solution did not work, It appeared ok at first, however, the D-Link began rebooting itself over and over every 10 mins or so until I removed the DMZ and placed Orbi back into AP mode.

The D-Link has a couple of options - bridge mode ( I emailed my ISP for help with settings but have yet to receive a reply, I just get a msg stating "no default route" when I attempt to use bridge mode), and also "PPPoE passthrough".

The reboot loop makes it hard to get back into the DLink web interface to change the settings back again (you have to be quick between cycles). Funny thing is - everything else on the DLink works fine, it's just the moment you attempt to put Orbi into a DMZ that things go haywire...

Without the DMZ I get double NAT, so I guess I'm stuck again for now unless I can work out how to bridge the modem, however, my ISP seem to be ignoring my emails and I'm guessing if they do reply they'll tell me they don't support third party routers.

I have have made two instals of PiHole on two raspberrypi's - the first one is set up on an Airport Express router and I have changed the router's DNS to the PiHole and it works just fine. The second one is on a DLink 850 router and it does not work. I read many reports about the inablility to change DNS settings for LAN on DLink so I am just changing the DNS settings on my Macbook that's linked to the router through LAN

If it lacks the options to assign DNS servers to the clients through DHCP, alternatives are to configure all your clients DNS settings manually or ...

disable DHCP on the router and activate the DHCP service from Pi-hole as a replacement:

I've tried to activate the Pi-Hole DHCP server but then the Pi-Hole cannot access the internet due to the inability to set LAN DNS on the D-Link router. Now I have set the client DNS to the Pi-Hole server but ads are still not blocked alas!

I cant see the settings that are required to push a DNS server to the clients through DHCP.

Best is to use Pi-hole's DHCP service.

If you configure Pi-hole's "Upstream DNS Servers" to that of for example Google's, you circumvent DNS resolution via your router (take it out of the loop).

I then went back to routers DHCP and setting ip address of Pi-Hole as DNS on my client and in this case, I was back on the internet but no ad blocking (for example on [Mod Edit: Link no longer available])

Did you disconnect & reconnect network on the client or reboot it after you switched DHCP from router to Pi-hole ?

Whenever you change DHCP settings, you need to do the above or those settings wont propagate (or wait until the DHCP lease expires which could take a long time).

You said you were able to ping Pi-hole after the switch but were unable to do DNS lookups against it.

Were you able to SSH into the PI after the switch ?

Flipping on the Pi-hole DHCP service should not alter any of the IP details for Pi-hole.

It could be that your router does something like below:

You could also try connecting a CAT5 cable straight from Pi-hole to one of your clients.

See if the client receives an IP address from Pi-hole and try to do the lookup again with the router out of the loop.

Rebind protection - I guess that's what my router is doing - I don't know how to turn it off though, its a D-Link DIR850 router and I've seen many issues that people have logged with this router on pi-hole

I have now gone back to the following config:

DHCP on router

Client connected via Ethernet to router and DNS on client pointing to Pi-hole ip address

Ads are still not blocked - I ran pihole -d and uploaded the debug data - token is ndis41x35d

Hi - i have comcast cable internet and currently a dlink wifi router. can i connect the cable modem to the orbi ax4200 router, and then connect the dlink router to either the orbi router or its satellite, and run wifi on both routers? Or will they interfere, etc? Or will performance be affected? If possible it would be nice to keep the house up and running on the old SSID while i'm kicking the tires on the orbi.

Having two wifi sources can effect and cause problems in the home... Thought you could connect the DIR router in wired AP mode and have a separate SSID on that router. You will need to keep the wifi channels between the two far appart. I.E. one system using channel 1 and the other usng channel 11 on 2.4Ghz.

Thanks for replying. Its a dlink dir-880L and my home is about 1750 up and 1750 down. the router will be near the southwest corner and I think the satellite I'll be able to put about 30 feet away in the living room towards the northeast corner.

Maybe I'll scrub the idea and just go full bore and see how she goes. Not like I don't have some time on my hands to figure things out and get everything connected to the orbi....and if I don't like it, I can just spend some time reverting back.

Thanks, appreciate the response. so with 900mbps down from your cable modem, what speeds do you show on a speedtest or speedcheck app near the router and near the perimeter? I'm hoping for a big improvement compared to what I'm getting with the dir-880.

well, that was easy. I see what you mean about just calling it by the old network's name and password. Given it was specified on a tag on the router, I thought it would be more difficult to change, but it was simple. I'm pulling down 400mbps on the other side of the house where I've never got over 50mbps at 2.4ghz and over 100mbps at 5ghz.

I have D-Link 2650 router. Some wireless and wired clients connected to it. The problem is there is no interconnection between wireless and wired devices. For instance, when I start webserver on PC connected to wired LAN, WiFi devices cannot access it (other wired devices can). However all devices are in the same subnet: 192.168.1.x. How can I connect WiFi and LAN devices to one network? Or maybe what I should know first (any information with which I can proceed)?

Can you ping one device from the other? That's the first place to start. If you can't ping, then it's not a webserver problem... your router MIGHT be configured not to allow connections between the wired and wireless domains, but that's not common. Are you running the default settings on the router?

I've had 1.0.10 firmware version in D-Link 2650(NSU).Seemes that client isolation checkbox is broken in this version.I've updated to 1.0.17 firmware (following instructions on -2650U/Firmware/) and now have wireless and wired clients communicating each other.

If you forgot your password, you will need to reset the router back to the factory default settings. Unfortunately this will remove any settings you have and you will need to reconfigure your router.

To reset your router, use a paper clip and press & hold the reset button (usually located on the back of the router) for 10 seconds and release. Allow 1 minute to reboot. The default IP address of the router will be 192.168.0.1 and the password is blank.

If you are connecting wirelessly, you will need to reconnect your device to the default wireless network after the router reboots. The default Wi-Fi network/password may be printed on the label on the bottom of the router or on the included Wi-Fi Configuration Card (newer models).

To reconfigure, refer to the Quick Install Guide included with your router or download the PDF (click Close and then click Downloads).

Having trouble connecting a user with a Dlink Di-624 router. Have connectivty from 9000SM and works great direct connected to laptop. However when we connect Dlink router, we cannot open web pages.

Note: We have other customers using Dlink with no problems.

Has anyone else been having problems??
