Outgoing on WAN1, incoming on WAN2? TL-R470T+
Region : Argentina
Model : TL-R470T+
Hardware Version : V3
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hi Folks,
I have two ISPs (Mediacom Cable and Verizon 4G). The Mediacom side is my primary internet access and is working fine. On the Verizon side I own a static IP that resolves to my domain name. I've used it in the past to access my home PCs and IP cameras remotely. I'd like to continue doing so. My Verizon bandwidth is only 6GB/mo, so I'd like to set the TL-R470T to direct all outgoing traffic through the Mediacom WAN (WAN1) and allow incoming connections from the Verizon WAN (WAN2).
The Mediacom side uses a Cisco modem with no built in router. The WAN1 IP is whatever Mediacom assigns me. The Verizon side is an MBR1515 4G modem/router. The signal comes into it via the 4G antennas and goes out to the LAN through the 4 LAN ports. There is a WAN port on it, but that's only for the failover aspect of that router and doesn't put out any signal (as far as I know).
So as far as I can tell, the only way to get the Verizon WAN working was to assign the LAN side of that router an internal IP, which is 192.168.10.1. I then ran an ethernet cable from the LAN port on the Verizon router to the WAN2 port on the TP-Link and entered it as a static IP. So WAN1 has the real world IP from Mediacom and WAN2 has 192.168.10.1. The LAN side of the TP-Link is 192.168.1.x. The Verizon router isn't doing any firewalling. It passes all traffic through. I formerly had a Cisco router doing the firewalling and port forwarding. I intend to have the TP-Link do the same.
Now this is where things get fuzzy. The internal IP of my TP-Link is 192.168.1.1. I can access the config web page using that IP as you would expect. The internal side of the Verizon router is 192.168.10.1. If I type that into a browser, I still get the TP-Link web interface. So I don't know how to get to the web interface of the Verizon router now, short of plugging a machine directly into one of its LAN ports.
So I guess my question is, can I set things up so outgoing traffic goes out through WAN1 and still retain remote access through my Verizon static IP by using the Verizon modem/router (WAN2) as an incoming gateway?
