Made a mistake switching back to flow yes

[brickman]

Changing dns to google seems to fix the issue so it's flow facking up & the lazy idiots working for them don't give a sh!t.

[The_Honourable]

Ok things seem to be getting back to normal

[lchan485]

Yeah seem resolved now. Have always used Google dns

[K74T]

Working like normal now

[Morpheus]

Much better...

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Working perfect now on my end!!!

I believe it should be back to normal for everybody else aswell.

There were some International Link outages in Guadeloupe yesterday evening. Maybe related.

[dredman1]

Right so anyone with the new Moca modem and experiencing problems with strict nat and ports being closed.

Here's the solution.
Leave your Moca modem on routed with nat. Do not change this setting.

Under firewall everything should be checked on expect the block fragmented ip packets (last option on the page)

If you are using your own wireless router leave all the settings as it was in the past and working perfectly you don't need to touch anything there unless you want to set a static IP address for it.

On the flow modem under lan change the dhcp range to something like starting from 20.

Now you're going to dmz your wireless router. What I did was I reserved my wireless router's client ip as .02. Which falls under the <20 range.

The reasoning for this is that the address you DMZ cannot be in the range the flow modem dhcp addresses too.

To keep my private ip from changing in power outages etc I set it as a reserved client on the flow router as 192.168.0.2 and made my net gear static at that same address.

You do not need a static ip from flow. We are talking about static ips on your private network.

Make sure the firewall on the flow modem is ON. The supervisor at flow who led me to this solution said while it's very weird. Once you take the firewall off ALL ports are going to be blocked.

Under dmz enable it and set it to your router.

Note: if you have any other devices connected to the flow modem besides your own wireless router you will need to manually port forward them on the flow modem under virtual servers.

This worked perfectly for me and my nat is now open and I can remote view my DVRs.

Recently got the AVS and of course Flow's router is causing problems with my Apple AE router as its giving me a Double Nat status error message.

Eventually managed to get into Flow's router setup page and tried the above, but it's not letting me do what's stated here (bear with me as I'm no IT technician). I may also have a different Arris router as some of the sub-menus seem to be in different menus to what's stated here.

First off, I can't change my DHCP range to 20 (its default was 10), as when I do it says the Number of CPEs is invalid (its pre-populated at 245).

I think I managed to change my router's IP address to 198.168.0.2 (which is less than 10), and got that IP address onto the reserved list (198.168.0.2/24 is showing in the reserved list).

However, when I enable DMZ and try to enter the 198.168.0.2 address, it says thats not a valid IP address.

Am I understanding the instructions, or am I doing nonsense? Appreciate any help as the settings I had to view my IP cameras all seem invalid now.
