I also have a router connected to a modem (with usb and ethernet port), and it works fine.
Not sure of if it is necessary, but to avoid all issues, I thought it would be a good practise to change the range of ip addresses. My modem gives out addresses of the form 192.168.1.x. and this cannot be changed. So I set my router to give out addresses of the form 192.168.2.x. All my home devices consequently have 192.168.2.x .
This allows me to browse to the configuration page of the router (192.168.2.1), but also to the configuration page of the modem (192.168.1.1).
While this does work, it will cause some issues for devices on your
192.168.2.1/24 network, as it will be Double-NAT'd. Software that relies of "broadcast" packets, (such as DLNA Media Servers) are unlikely to work if connected to your
192.168.2.1/24 will likely be inaccessible from devices on your
192.168.1.1/24 network.
My network here includes a total of 5 Routers, (4 of them are configured as AP(Access Points) to maximize compatibilty here, and make configuration easier I have all network devices on my network sharing the same
10.77.13.0/24 network.
We have not completed the "
Wireless Access Point" feature on the Almond+ yet, but I have published a "
workaround" to approximate one. See my message:
