2 Hardware Firewall?

[brandonwh64]

Hat, this should help on the 2 routers topic.

Having 2 firewalls is not ideal and is not recommended. Whats the model number of the router you say cannot have the firewall turned off.

Well, you said the one firewall (I assume the modem+router box?) unfortunately could not be turned off. This led me to believe you were somewhat unhappy with that. Could you possibly return the modem/router box and replace it with a modem only unit?

It's a Telekom Speedport W 921V

Model Number: 40259777

That's right the Firewall of the modem+router can't be turn off.

Can't be return it becasue I have with it almost 2 years.

Well then, I am not sure what feature(s) you would be missing out on by removing the router, and using only the modem/router box. If the only reason you don't want to retire it is because it would be a shame to leave it collecting dust, maybe consider putting it up for sale somewhere.

Unless you would be missing out on a feature the Netgear router has that the Telekom one does not, or you want a separate subnet or something, I fully recommend removing the Netgear router and finding a nice home for it. Adding more routers can only complicate things and potentially cause issues.

I think that is what i am going to do, I am right now turning off the Netgear and setting up the Telekom one

Sounds good.

It would be nice if someone made a modem/router that ALSO had phone lines. Currently I only see modem/router and modem/phone boxes. I wish I could have an all in one box that did it all... moot point anyway however as my ISP won't let me use my own modem.

set up done, i am using just the modem+router, btw this modem router is great and as you said is has phone lines, i have my fax connected to it and my phone connect to the fax.

I looked and looked and looked some more a while back, but I hadn't found a phone/modem/router combo.

Moot point anyway... they won't let me use it!

That's no fear, it's all becasue they want that you pay for use their Modem

here you can choose to use a Modem that your ISP gives you and pay around 4,50€ per month or just you can buy one.

Well then, I am not sure what feature(s) you would be missing out on by removing the router, and using only the modem/router box.

the only feature that i will miss is that with the Netgear i can block:

porn Websites

 

[remixedcat]

I can block whole categories on a VLAN basis with my Cisco Meraki Z1 router as well as my Aruba RAP109s

This is for the guest VLAN

and also using the standard domains, IPs, etc.

I can also do that PER USER regardless of VLAN

I can't compare my Router+Modem with the Netgear Firewall business, the Netgear is far way better and it has many features that I won't never ever use.
