Hi,

Just to confirm some basics.

You have set the "Internet Connection Type" of the Archer VR400 to "Bridge" and on the BRUME2 you have configured a PPPoE connection with the authentication credentials provided by your ISP, right?

  @woozle I dont seem to have an option on the Brume2 to enter any PPPoe connection details anywhere. Under the Brume2 Network settings, theres a Network Mode section which has Router or Bridge mode... this is currently in Router mode ( Create your own private network. The router will act as NAT, firewall and DHCP server. )... it also has another section under Network called "Drop-in Gateway" which is currently off. The info for this setting shows as: "When drop-in gateway mode is enabled, all traffic from clients on the network is first processed by this router. You can use this mode to extend the functionality of your primary router. Please note that in Drop-in Gateway mode, the VPN policy of this device will not work for clients from the WAN port."

Apologies but this is all a bit over my head :)

Ok. If you use the VR400 as a router and the BRUME2 as a router as well, then of course there will be a double NAT.

What you could try is to utilize the "DMZ" feature of the VR400. To do that go to the menu "Advanced -> NAT Forwarding -> DMZ" and enter the IP address of the BRUME2 (you mentioned 192.168.1.100 previously) and then activate DMZ. This should forward all incoming requests to the BRUME2.

Alternatively, provided you know the ports used by the NVR and the PLEX you could also forward only the required ports to the BRUME2. That feature is either called "Virtual Servers" or "Port Forwarding" on TP-Link's routers (depending on the model).

  @woozle Thank you... The DMZ option didnt work for me so had to go down the port forward route which has thankfully fixed my issue!

All the best!
