DMZ - BT HH4

[link to this post]

I have just moved to BT from Sky and i would like to use my dd-wrt Buffalo router that i have had working in conjunction with sky router for the past few months. In theory, you were unable to use dd-wrt with the sky router, but some friendly geek wrote a guide on how to get them to work together. See Here and view the attached pdf file.

The problem that i currently have is with the DMZ. I think if i am able to resolve this issue, i will get my dd-wrt working again.

Currently i have several devices connected to my dd-wrt router, the TV and Sky Box etc. If i connect my dd-wrt router to the HH4 via ethernet and and go to the DMZ settings on the HH4, i am able to choose a device to add to the DMZ. I am able to choose the TV MAC address for instance.

Why am i able to choose devises that are connected to the DD-WRT router, whereas what i really need is the DD-WRT router itself to be added to the HH4 DMZ.

Is anyone able to advise?

edit - view the attached pdf file.

Are you on Fibre or ADSL ?

You should be able to ditch the HH and use your DDWRT as the only router - that is if you are on ADSL your DDWRT box has an ADSL modem.

For what it's worth and if anyone is interested, i managed to get dd-wrt working pretty much perfectly with my homehub 4.

The dd-wrt router suddenly appeared in the dmz, i applied the change to the config and it now works. I now have very flexible settings for making sure that the kids internet connected devices can go online at certain times of each day.

Hey, would you mind sharing how you managed to get dd-wrt on the HH4? I have a HH4a im trying to use on Comcast as a second router.

I thought the HH4 could control times certain devices are allowed to access the internet?

Do you understand that dd-wrt is on a different router, not the HH4 ?
