(router+Router) 2 port forwarding or Bridge+Router

Recommended Posts

My internet connection is through a prolink modem/router (H9200) then to Edimax Router BR-6225n.

 

To set up the internet connection of the CCTV, I double port forward the said routers.

 

Is the speed affected by this 2 port forwarding, that is, will it be better to set the first modem/router into bridge mode and do just single port forwarding? or the speed / access to CCTV will not be affected at all.

 

I noticed I got frequent disconnections.

2 routers = no fun.

 

The easiest solution is to use the second router as a switch. On the second router, disable the DHCP server and do not use the "internet" or "wan" port on the back of the router to connect the 2 routers together. Use the ethernet ports on the back of each router to connect the two. This essentially turns the second router into a switch/ access point.
