I recently upgraded to 'wideband' broadband from TWC and they provided a new Motorola SB6580 modem. When in Bridge mode, it seems to be very particular about the order devices are brought up - ex - it I plug in my router prior to the modem being fully booted, then the router never gets an IP address. Though the solution is simple, it always seems to happen when I'm out of town, which make the fam unhappy.
So, I'm left with a choice of setting up a my current wireless router as an access point, or leaving it as a router and having double-NAT.
My internal network needs are pretty simple. I have a few computers connected that share via a homegroup, a voip box, and random smartphones/tables that need internet connectivity. I'm currently running the Belkin n750db. I'm not currently using the USB ports on the router.
Which setup should I use - AP or double-NAT - and why?
Thanks!
