Hi!
I have just bought the Hex S in the hope of sorting out a problem I have with my home network. My level of understanding is pretty basic but willing to learn!
Currently, I have a Huiwei B628-265 4G modem in bridge mode connected via Vodafone to the internet. This is turn is connected to a Synology RT2600AC, set as the DHCP server, which is working well.
My problem is that Vodafone has restrictions in place (GNAT?) that affects connectivity to the outside world ie port forwarding, PLEX and the Playstation network.
I have a service from Andrews & Arnold that allows an L2TP connection (without IPSec) bypassing these problems with Vodafone and this is working perfectly on the main PC but I would like to have this service available on the main link to internet to benefit all of the devices on the network.
The RT2600AC unfortunately can only setup a L2TP connection with IPSEC credentials so fails to connect.
I have had this L2TP connection working on the Hex S when I swapped it out for the RT2600AC but I would rather keep the Synology device as the main hub of the network, if possible, rather than just an AP for WiFi.
My questions are: 1. Is it possible to set up the Hex S so that it acts as a kind of gateway between the modem and RT2600AC to apply the L2TP link and, 2. how on earth do I do this in the simplest language an idiot can understand!
My apologies for the lack of technical knowledge but I am hoping the kind folk on this forum can point me in the right direction, please.
