I have an Orcon fibre router with a 10.x.x.x IP address range

 

I am moving somewhere that has a Nova fibre router, connected to the ONT, with a 192.168.x.x address range

 

I don't want to have to change all my complex settings of a large 10.x.x.x network and I don't want to have to move internet providers

 

Can I take my whole 10.x.x.x network and somehow point the Orcon 10.x.x.x fibre router to the Nova 192.168.x.x router for internet???

WAN interface of Orcon to LAN interface of Nova router. Double NAT, any forwarded ports would also need to be forwarded in Nova device to point to WAN of Orcon.

You will need to remove your VLAN10 setting from your WAN interface of the orcon router.

 

Bear in mind this will leave you with Double NAT

Actually, is it possible for me to take my Orcon router and reconfigure it to use the Nova Internet? So taking the Nova router out of the mix but keeping all my Orcon router settings?

 

The Nova ones are annoying as they control the admin password and can reset admin access as and when they want.

 

Orcon doesn't seem to do this.

Most likely, you may need valid account credentials for the Nova PPPoE connection though, test with dummy credentials.

Why wouldn't you just use DHCP for this? You shouldn't have to manually specify IP address ranges at all.

 

Nova do not like you using your own router. It is basically a managed service. Your only other option is to do a double-nat. Also Nova use CG-NAT so you don't have a public IP either.
