Question

Any affordable gigabit wireless routers with 1-to-1 NAT?

Apr 30, 2018 6:40AM PDT

Can anyone recommend a home office level wireless router that allows one-one NAT configuration. I'm struggling to find any that wont waste most of the 320 MB/s I get from my ISP. The ones I've found are either 10/100 ethernet, AC1200 or wired only. I basically want to assign the 5 public IPS to 5 different devices on my network and be able to access them all via wifi at good speeds.

I've never heard of anyone getting 5 public IPv4 IP addresses. The cost today would be so much that the cost of the router hardware would never be a factor to such a buyer.

I'm going to watch this thread for further developments.

£60/month

It costs £60/month. Really not that much. You can add another 8 static public IPs for another £5/month

My guess is these are IPv6 addresses.

IPv4 addresses are depleted and don't go for cheap.

Anyhow, I haven't heard of any solution other than to get into expensive Cisco business or carrier class models or if you go with consumer models, more than one router.

However there are routers you build yourself. Nod to Linux routers and of course The Squid project.
