I’m trying to solve a networking problem that sounds quite simple but I’m struggling for the answer.<\/p>\n
I have a Linksys AG241 which is a nice ADSL router. Nice that is except that the QoS on it doesn’t support prioritisation by address\/subnet; a must with 3 children in the house. My proposed solution is to stick a Linksys WRT54GS running DD-WRT<\/a> firmware between the ADSL router and my LAN. The problem is that my internal LAN is a public \/29 subnet which means I have no public addresses to sit on the LAN created between the two routers.<\/p>\n As far as my networking knowledge goes there is no proper<\/i> solution to this without an additional subnet. Perhaps there is a means to stick a private subnet between the routers and do something clever with NAT? The alternative is to ask my ISP how much they would charge for a \/30 subnet. As well as solving the QoS issue this would also enable me to create a proper DMZ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m trying to solve a networking problem that sounds quite simple but I’m struggling for the answer.
