WNDR4500 and UTM50 on Same Network?

[hennessy1]

I currently have a WNDR4500 for a router and I wanted to keep using it for one reason specifically in the GUI there is an option to have certain wireless devices on your network and guest devices be separated from the rest of the network and I figured with that option in there that is a lot simpler to enable then setting up different networks.

I also was able to trade for a low cost to get a netgear UTM50 firewall/router. Now before I had the wndr4500 router inplace as a router instead of just an AP I had a rvs4000 router but with the security features it offers and the actual power the router was capable of it just didn't cut it in terms of throughput. So I looked for a firewall that provided those features and found it with the netgear one. Others do but they have more of a user max limit on their hardware and netgear does not so that is what attracted me to it.

Now to set this up so I can use the wndr4500 guest network isolation feature I would have to put in dhcp relay info correct to the utm50? and also either change the operation from gateway to a router or even static routing?

So Ill kill off any of the wndr4500 firewall features. Now as for the wireless feature that I wanted to use where it seperates the guest networks from the local network resources does that count as a firewall thing that I'd need to disable or no?

So it will go modem>utm50>wndr4500(setup for dhcp relay to utm50?)>switches?

I would wanna connect the utm50 device from a lan port to a lan port and not to the wndr4500 correct? with a straight through cable and not a crossover?

Sorry you can move this thread where you feel it's more appropriate. The thing is when using the wndr4500 as just an AP the option to separate the guest network from the LAN resources is disabled. My understanding of why that is is because the wndr4500 is not acting as a router and it needs to act as one in order to keep them separate correct me if I am wrong on that line of thinking?

guest network FAIL to work on using router as AP.

[hennessy1]

So in that case what would be the best way to go about setting up the utm50 as a primary router and have the wndr4500 set up in either a secondary or relay router setup?

Get 2AP and put in different vlan to isolate

Unfortunately the guest network feature did not work properly. It would connect but would not allow any internet through which is the exact opposite of what I wanted it to do but either thank you for the help.

you have to create the rules to block the ports
