Adding NetGear Prosafe 8-port Gigabit VPN Firewall to existing TimeCapsule Network

I need some help and direction with this one...
What I currently have setup and what I am doing on a day to day is as follows;
Cox Cable Broadband > ISP Cable Model > Time Capsule >Airport Express v1 + Airport Express v2 (Both extending wireless). I have a Dell/Windows Server setup as a Media Server and also have it setup to accept VPN connection as well. I remote into my network quite a bit as well as VPN into it quite a bit, I RDP into the Dell Server as well as an iMAC and MacBook Pro from time to time. I have PS3, Xbox360, Apple TV 1stG and 2ndG, 2011iMac, 2011MacBookPro, iPAD3 and various other wireless clients. I would really like to add as much security as I possibly can and thought adding a Hardware firewall would be a good step.
So I Purchased a NetGear ProSafe 8-port Gigabit VPN Firewall that I would install on my network and have everything behind that. The problem is I have no idea how to set it up for the best protection and performance. Only thing I found online is putting it behind my TC which would then leave my Wireless Clients outside the Firewall? I'm usually pretty good with this stuff, but this time I'm just completely confused and not even sure if I need this or if it's completely useles. I do like the TimeCapsule also running 2 Airport Express (v1 & v2) to extend my wireless network, but I'm not sure if it's as secure as it could be.
If this was a good step buying a hardware firewall and from what I've read the model I bought (FVS318G) is pretty good, it's also solving a problem I have had with my network is needed Ethernet access. Time Capsule only has 3 ports so I figured this would also solve the lack of Ethernet ports as well.
I'm thinking I would go from Modem > NetGear(DHCP Enabled) > Time Capsule (Somehow turn DHCP/Router off) > all my network clients.
Can Anyone offer advice?? How I should configure this? Is it pointless? Return the Netgear Firewall? Buy a different hardware firewall???
*BTW* I have software security covered, just want to add hardware as well.
Any help/suggestions would be extremely helpful!
Thank you!

I am not sure who made the suggestion for the vpn router to be behind the TC.. they do that sometimes for connection to vpn for downloading TV shows etc.. but your proposed network layout is correct.
I'm thinking I would go from Modem > NetGear(DHCP Enabled) > Time Capsule (Somehow turn DHCP/Router off) > all my network clients.
All correct.. The Netgear has to be the one and only router.. otherwise the VPN will not give you access to the rest of the network behind the NAT.
So easy peasy.. bridge the TC.. use the 5.6 utility if LIon.. you will need to download and install it..
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Lion v6 is a toy..
Go to manual setup, internet tab. Connection sharing.. off, bridge mode. update the TC.. voila you are done.
You should probably reboot the whole network. As the expresses will need to now get IP from the netgear not the TC. Tell us if you run into trouble, but everything should work, although it may require a reset and redo setup of the TC and express to get everything smooth again.
Next issue.. hardware and software firewalls.. sometimes produces the great wall of china.. very secure... oh so secure nothing gets in.. or out. I do not know the Netgear.. but I would start with whatever the lowest preset is for the firewall. And see if you have issues.
And of course then do the vpn setup.. which is a lot of fun.. (read strong sarcasm). But once you establish the tunnel should then give you access to the whole network.. you will not need to use RDP unless you need to actually take over a computer.
VPN firewall is the RIGHT WAY.. albeit it can be painful in the initial stages.

Netgear FVS336G VPN Firewall and BT HH3

I am trying to put the FVS336G into my home network directly after the HH3 and before a netgear 16port switch. The 200+ pages netgear ref manual is not paticularly helpful and from what I have read/+online I can only have one DHCP Server on the network, currently that is the HH3. Can I disable DHCP Server on the HH3 and I assume bridge it to the FVS336G? I would like the FVS336G to act as the DHCP Server in the network and use the HH3 just as an ADSL Modem. Or do I dispense with the HH3 and just get a cheap ADSL modem? I purchased the FVS336G so that I could secure my network down better and use the VPN/SSL tunnelling to allow me to access my NAS when I am away from home on business.
Any advice on putting a physical VPN Firewall router into the network would be appreciated.

PPPoA is used for ADSL connections, and PPPoE is used for Infinity connections.
If you used a separate ADSL modem to do the authentication, then authentication would not be needed on the Netgear, as the PPP session would already be up, however it would be a waste of money if you moved to Infinity.
Meanwhile, you can still use the Netgear as an additional wireless access point if you want.

WRT54G - Is there anyway to add a separate VPN/Firewall device to complement this product

I have a WRT54G v.2 device and I hate to throw it out. My dilemma is that I'm in need of a VPN/Firewall device as well. So I would like to know if there is a device that I can purchase from Linksys that will provide the VPN/Firewall features as a complement to my existing WRT54G? I'd appreciate any info someone might be able to provide.
Regards.

Hi,
you have options between the RV series of VPN routers and the BEFSX41 and the BEFVP41.however you will have to change your network a bit.Your main router will have to be either of the VPN routers.The DHCP of the wrt will have to be disabled and you will also need to change the ip of the wrt from 192.168.1.1 to 1962.168.1.2
The connection will be.modem to internet port of the VPN router and then from port 1 of the VPN router to port 1 on the wrt.Do not use the internet ports of the wrt.

DHCP Reservation

DHCP reservations are nothing more than instructions to the server.The DHCP client protocol doesn't know anything about reservations. DHCP clients send their MAC address as part of the request and the DHCP server uses this address to find a matching reservation. If the server finds a match in the reservations it allocates the reservation address. If not then the server searches the existing lease table and allocates the first match there. If no MAC match is found then the next available IP address is allocated. The protocol doesn't proscribe how the "random" allocation is done, just that it come from the lease pool.Because the DHCP client doesn't know about this it then starts sending lease renewal requests at the 50% point in the lease.To unblock port 68, enable Bootp on your DHCP server. The Windows DHCP server works with both DHCP...

Hi,
I have a thin client device that receives an IP address from a DHCP server on Windows 2008. I created a DHCP reservation for the device to use 192.168.0.81 and confirmed that the IP address was assigned to the device correctly.
But I have been seeing packets are being blocked by firewall because port 67 from requesting device to DHCP server on port 68 does not allow by default rule on firewall.
My question is, even though the device receives the reserved IP address, why it keeps sending DHCP packets to its server? As far as I know, when DHCP reservation is used, there is no lease time allocated to the IP. Or does device send DHCP packets anyways regardless of reservation? If it does, how often does requesting device send the request?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

WRT610N DHCP Reservation Client Table empty, please help!

Even though there are about 15 devices connected to the router right now there is literally nothing showing up in the DHCP Reservation list, and when I add something manually it will not come up either. I have tried reinstalling the firmware and even setting the options to default. Has anyone had this problem before? I have checked the forms and saw nothing on this subject.
This has been an issue since I bought the device, however the DHCP list did show up a couple of times when reinstalling the firmware but would go away after ~20 minutes of ussage. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Surprise surprise. After being explict with Tech Support, having them repeatedly confirm that someone will be calling me today, I got nothing. There was not a peep whatsoever from them. I guess I kind of suspected that since they had done all that they could think of to resolve the problem yesterday. I'm just another disgruntled customer to them.
Hence, I took matters into my own hands to get my DHCP Reservation list back and to prevent it from disappearing in the future. I also took some very good advise from chrizburnz. The steps provided below are exhaustive and probably 50% unnecessary. The problem is knowing which steps are crucial and which are redundant and/or needless. I wasn't going to waste any more time trying to figure this out. I spent hours with Tech Support (3 different techies altogether) and they couldn't get my list back, even after reinstalling the firmware. I don't plan to be updating this list a lot anyway.
To get your DHCP Reservation list back and keep it from disappearing in the future, do the following...
Power down all LAN and wireless devices that connect or want to connect to your router with the exception of a single wired computer.
Save your current router configuration. There is a Backup Configurations button on the Administration tab.
Hit and hold the reset button on the back of your router for 30 seconds as previously advised.
After releasing the button, pull the power cable out of the router and wait another 30 seconds or so.
Plug the power cable back in and wait for your router to boot.
Load the original CD that came with the router and redo the Setup procedure.
Once the router pulls down an IP address from your modem, you can then start to configure your DHCP Reservations list from scratch.
Click DHCP Reservation off of the Setup --> Basic Setup tab.
Starting with the PC already connected, enter in your current PC information using the Manual method. Don't use the Add Clients button. (The MAC address should be appearing in the list above this button. You can just cut/paste it in.)
For the name, do not use special characters, spaces, or numbers. Just use upper/lower case letters and keep the name short.
Click Save Settings. Click Continue. Click the Close button at the bottom of the window.
Click Backup Configurations on the Administration tab. (You can always restore if your list vanishes on you. You don't want to have to start over from scratch the next time. You can just do the restore.)
Power up the next device. They appear to pop up immediately in the clients table. At this point, the DHCP Client table should be functioning as expected/advertised.
Repeat steps 9 through 14 until all your devices are full reserved.
Again, this is the exhaustive procedure. I can't say which steps are crucial. Just add one entry at a time, short names, letters only, and save the configuration each time you successfully add an entry. (Never "x" out the DHCP Reservation window. Use the Close button.)
If anyone finds out the real deal here, can you please post it. Or, better yet, Cisco can fix their firmware bug in the next release.

EA6700 Invalid IP address in DHCP reservations

Hello. First time here so bare with me. I can't believe I am actually posting this stupid thing but it must be a bug or something very wrong. As the subject says I am trying to reconfigure my network as there are too many devices too keep track/configure manually, and I can't add devices for DHCP reservation:
-manually,
-selecting from the list,
-modify any of my (few) previous entries,
when I am trying to associate IPs to MACs in Connectivity > Local Network > DHCP Server > DHCP reservations.
Every **bleep** time the little (two) fields for the IP are just starting to glow pinkish somehow and a baloon appears saying Invalid IP address. No matter what numbers I am filling in. Of course I would very much like to fill the IPs from my internal network 192.168.1.ish...
This just can't be for real. Tell me I didn't pay those money for this kind of bugs.
Don't take the name of root in vain!

PS: also after I add from the list (this one at least works) - I can't edit the entry, due to the same error, so it's useless too...
I should mention that even if 3 devices are connected wired 1GB to the router and most of them are wireless, on one port I have a SG300-28 Cisco Switch, in a separate VLAN, for easy administration of some servers/storage devices in a remote location (remote = different building ~ 50m). The switch is in layer 2 mode, no DHCP there. Worked for years. No IP conflicts.
All the machines/devices are Linux, BSD, Android. And I really need this as I have to restrict access to a FreeNAS 9.2 machine.
Don't take the name of root in vain!

DHCP Reservations and ARD

I asked this question on someone elses thread. I'll ask here as well..
I have 2 computer on my Airport Extreme network I am controlling with my Macbook pro (ARD Admin)
G5 Tower - on ethernet, Macbook Air on wireless (which travels outside network sometimes)
When inside the network I can control both computers... no problem.
When outside I can control only the G5.
I have setup a DHCP Reservation for the G5 on the Airport Utility so I can access it from outside. Works great... I can add a second DHCP Reservation for the Macbook Air but the Port Mapping does not allow a second mapping to the Air.
How can I do this?
Second question - DHCP Reservation - If the Airport remaps the DHCP addresses each 24 hours, Can i use an IP over the range... say - 205? This way the target computer will always be available?

As you have found out, the AirPort Utility will not allow you to map the same port to more than one device. The only way around this is to use a different port for the same function. In this case, letting ARD know to use a different port to listen on for the MacBook Air.
Second question - DHCP Reservation - If the Airport remaps the DHCP addresses each 24 hours, Can i use an IP over the range... say - 205? This way the target computer will always be available?
Yes. The purpose of using the DHCP Reservation feature is so that you can create a "permanent" IP address within the range of IP addresses in the DHCP pool. Prior to this, using an IP address just outside of the pool was a common tactic to make sure that the address used would not conflict with the DHCP server's pool.

EA6700 DHCP Reservation (Static DHCP) limit

Hi,
just got an EA6700. Setup was the most difficult I've ever experienced in many years of Wifi/router config. I almost packed it back up to return it. The cloud thing is absurd. Using CAPTCHA that does not even display the CAPTCHA image is even worse.
Alright, I succeeded in using the local admin login and set up the router. Actually the plan was to have it just be a wireless access point, using my Cisco RV042 as the router and DHCP server. Well that 'dream' was squashed right quick. That **bleep** RV042 blew up when I added one more Static DHCP entry. Poof. 'No more SYSTEM' errors in a few spots. On reboot the darn thing does not come back up. This after the RV042 needed to be reset after I used a quote or some other 'illegal' character in a static DHCP entry. What a piece of amateur junk.
So. Tomorrow I will reset the RV042 again and relegate it to just doing WAN failover, nothing more. The EA6700 will be the router and DHCP server. So my question (sorry for the ranting) is how many DHCP reservations the EA6700 can handle. I'll probably need 75. I assign DHCP reservations for LAN stability and to prevent IP address collisions.
Please note that I'm not talking about static IP addresses. I have a few of those too but I know they are different from DHCP reservations.
Thanks,
Sander

It's highly unlikely the EA6700 can handle 70+ DHCP reservations. But I don't know for sure.
My advice is to go back to plan A and use EA6700 as AP.
Configure it for bridge mode. Be sure to "specify and IP address". Don't use "obtain IP address automatically" when configuring bridge mode.
http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=94&vw=1&articleid=25714
Edit: don't configure ea6700 for bridge mode while it's connected to your main router. You've probably noticed by now that the EA routers will automatically change their IP to 10.x.x.x if they detect a double NAT. Which I why I suggest keeping it disconnected from main router when configuring.

Win 2008 DHCP Reservation names changes

It appears that DHCP Reservation names are automatically being changed to match the host name of the device. Any way to make that stop short of blocking the probes with a firewall rule?

Vlan Select and DHCP reservations on a WISM with code 7.0.116.0

We went to using vlan select this semester and have had a couple of issues where clients (printers) wont pull their reserved ip from dhcp. From what I've read vlan select can handle static ip addresses but can it handle dhcp reservations if the current vlan selected in the round robin function is not the vlan that the ip is reserved in?

George,
Are you talking about a dhcp mac reservation for a device on all vlans in the bundle? If so, you can... The issue I ran into is that clients had to connect to a wireless printer and a wireless projector and they connected to it via ip address. So it became a nightmare with users. They just kept complaining that it works some days and other days it doesn't. Some devices were powered off after it was used. It would be nice if you can import a list of Mac address and specify what interface it is allowed on... That would make it easy.

WRT160N dhcp reservation causing lease time weirdness with WUSB300N

I just purchased these two devices and things seem to be working OK but when I try to reserve a dhcp ip for my desktop PC which is connected to the network with the WUSB300N, the lease time on that ip address goes down to 1 minute. It ends up constantly dropping and reconnecting the address. If I remove the reservation, the WUSB300n goes back to getting a normal 24 hour lease. This is not an issue with any of the other wireless devices on my network. I have a Macbook Pro, an iPhone and a PS3 all with reserved dhcp ip addresses and their lease times remain at 24 hours.
I'm assuming there must be some setting for the WUSB300n that could take care of this but I can't find it. The desktop PC is running Windows Vista 64 bit home premium. The installation of the WUSB300n didn't exactly go smoothly. Every indication during installation was that of failure to install correctly. No linksys utilities were installed and Vista reported the driver installed but the adapter wasn't working; when I rebooted the wireless usb adapter did work. Of course that's not uncommon, requiring a reboot for a driver to initialize but nothing in the installation indicated a reboot would be necessary and typically a reboot isn't necessary for USB driver installations. In addition, the driver disc that came in the box with the WUSB300n didn't work so I used the driver package available from this site.
I can live without the dhcp reservation but to best manage my home network I'd like to take advantage of this option.
Thanks

Greetings - I'm actually having the exact same problem with my WRT160N. I bought the router in December 2009 and utilized one reservation for a network printer. It worked fine, and the reserved IP address would show up in the DHCP Client List of the router configuration page with the correct lease time remaining. More recently (May 2010), I added a 2nd reservation for a network hard drive. This is when the problem began occurring, and it impacts both the network printer and network drive. The reserved IP address leases will appear in the Client List for (what appears to be) a random amount of time, then at some point changes to one minute and counts down until it expires off the list. The devices continue to work with their IP addresses after they erroneously expire off, but this inconsistent behavior suggests there may be a problem with the router's DHCP reservation functionality.
To clarify, I'm not using the WUSB300N, my problem is the one identified with the WRT160N. My reserved devices are a PC being used as a shared network drive (with an integrated Intel NIC) and an HP C6180 printer with built-in NIC.
I utilized linksys.com online technical support chat, and she had me re-flash to the latest firmware. This ultimately did not solve the problem. Any troubleshooting ideas?

Express and extreme both "n" with static vs dhcp reservations.

Good day, and thanks for reading.
I have an express that I have configured to "extend my wireless network" with my extreme. This is all setup manually, with no internet connection needed. everything is static and I am just using the wireless and switch of the routers.
I have 4 electronic components that have static IP addresses _and_ I have added the mac addresses to the DHCP reservation list as well.
I would prefer to leave everything with just the manual addresses in mac access control, however- the apple log does not show the connections for these components with static addresses. However, they do show up on the log as connected in the DHCP client log when I am using DHCP only.
My questions are;
1. Does it hurt performance on the routers to have the mac addresses filled in on both the DHCP reservation list, and the mac address control list?
2. Do I need to have all the mac addresses for my connected components on both the extreme and the express or, can I just have them inserted on the extreme- and are there any conflicts that can arise with having them coded on both routers?
I just want to be able to see the connections on the log, and currently it will only show them if I am using DHCP.
Thanks you.

Hello chrisinoswego. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
1. Does it hurt performance on the routers to have the mac addresses filled in on both the DHCP reservation list, and the mac address control list?
No.
2. Do I need to have all the mac addresses for my connected components on both the extreme and the express or, can I just have them inserted on the extreme- and are there any conflicts that can arise with having them coded on both routers?
When employing MAC Access Control, the MAC addresses would need to be entered in each base station. The only conflict that I am aware of is when the (in this case) two MAC lists are not identical.

WRT150N -- DHCP Reservation stopped working

I had a printer assigned to an IP address and that showed up fine under Clients Already Reserved. I wanted to add my computer so I could forward a port to it. The DHCP Reservation list was empty. (I had assigned the printer manually). I tried Manually adding Client. It showed up under the Client Already Reserved list, but then both entries disappeared and absolutely nothing seems to be working. I know the computer didn't get assigned because when I switch from wireless to wired I get assigned a different IP. How do I get this stuff working again and why have I never got a list of the clients in the DHCP Tables?
I am on a MacBook Pro running 10.4.6

That wasn't quite the issue. The problem is I can't see anything in the DHCP Reservation window. However, I think everything is properly saved even tho I can't see it.
As a test, I shut down the router and my two computers. Then I started the router and turned on the other computer. It was assigned 192.168.1.102. I turned on my computer and it was assigned 192.168.1.101. I checked the printer and it was at 192.168.1.105. I did not shut off the printer but I am hoping shutting off the router would have cleared the DHCP table. At any rate, my computer is at 101 and the printer is at 105, which is exactly what I want.
I would like to be able to have the DHCP Reservation window properly populated without having to reset the router and lose all my settings. Is there any way to do that? It is pretty clear that it has never worked exactly right, but I was able to assign one device (the printer) and may have been able to assign a second device (my computer).
BTW, my router is running hardware version 1 and firmware version 1.01.9, which is the latest.
