Title: possible to route all traffic from a device
Post by: vega on April 05, 2012, 02:00:53 PM

I have a media player wired to my dir-655. I have a wrt300 on the same network to use for vpn. I live in Canada, and to use Netflix etc, from the US, I need to use the vpn.

Is it possible to have the media player routed through the wrt300, rather than discovering all the IP addresses for Netflix etc and routing each one?

thanks

I would give this WTR300 an IP address ON the 655 router and place that IP address into the DMZ on the 655.

thanks for the reply FurryNutz

The 655 is connected to my cable modem, the WRT300 is connected to the 655 through a switch. The 655 runs my DCHP. The media player is wired to the switch, which is connected to the 655. What I"m trying to do is route all traffic from the media player through the VPN on the WRT300.

you'll need to configure that WTR300 for this I suppose if you have additional devices connected to it. Again, I would probably put the WTR300 in to the DMZ on the 655 to make sure it's getting a clear connection to all it needs.
