Do you bridge the WAN/LAN side of things?  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 11-25-2013 03:58 PM                        On the projection network there is no WAN access. When I'm plugged directly into the projector, I can use the cinema wifi if I need to access the Strong or GDC FTP sites, but I really wanted to make it as difficult as possible for anyone to get into the projection network. Our NOC has a dedicated static IP to get in through the LMS. I'm not sure if the particular router I'm using has a specific bridge mode as I have not tried to use it.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 11-25-2013 04:00 PM                     Most devices let you disable the WAN side, so you just don't use the WAN port at all. Alternatively, many of the cheaper devices support DD-WRT firmware (the D-Link DIR-615 does). DD-WRT gives you a lot of options, you usually only find on more expensive models, including bridging WAN and LAN side and even multi-SSID and VLAN support on many devices.  |  IP: Logged
