Here is my network config. Note I’ve masked the IPs with x’s, but they are correct and the network is working - I just can’t access the Fiber modem’s config page from my Balance One private subnet 10.0.0.1/24. Specifically, my computer’s static private address of 10.0.0.121.
WAN1: Static Public IP configured with Additional IP addresses. I am using a /28 that comes with 13 useable public IP addresses.
Static IP
Subnet: /28
Connection times out to Fiber modem. If I turn on my WiFi adapter on my desktop and pull a connection on the Fiber modem’s WiFi, I can access the config.
I have the following NAT Mappings set up, so that my outgoing requests are on their own static public IP address.
I’ve tried various other configs, such as setting up a Port Forwarding rule to forward all TCP ports from the AT&T Fiber modem’s default WAN IP, as well as my computer’s static WAN IP, to forward to 192.168.1.254. With no luck.
Your Modem is on 192.168.1.254 and your WAN is on 23.x.x.x so there is no IP interface that can can talk to the modem.
Open your WAN and click the blue arrow next to the IP Address label:
Then put a management IP address in there in the same subnet as the modem eg 192.168.1.253
Save and Apply and you’ll be able to reach 192.168.1.254
It is /24, is the Peplink pretending to be .253 when someone tries to get to it? Sorry, I’m not familiar with management IPs. I was thinking I had to put my LAN IP there.
The management IP, lets us add another IP address to the WAN so that it can talk to the management interface of an attached device (normally a modem or a router).
When you try and access 192.168.1.254, your traffic gets sent to the Peplink as your network gateway, the Peplink see’s that it has an interface on that network segment (its IP being 192.168.1.253) and so by default will use that IP to try and talk to the management router.
Can you ping 192.168.1.254 from your 10.0.0.0 network?
