    It was too hard to describe in words so i've made a diagram for the network here (including legend!)

    And heres the port forwarding setup in the router

    port_forwarding.jpg

    For the most part it works fine, the problem is mainly with the y-cam ip camera and the mini-pc/webserver.

    The y-cam is pretty intermittent, we use it everyday as its used as a monitor for the baby and its accessed via its internal IP address, when this drops out it is sometimes possible to access it by its external address. Restarting the router or the camera will bring it back online.

    The mini-pc connects to the net and works fine but as a webserver its quite unreliable but restarting the belkin router sorts it out for a while.

    Also occasionally (every 2 weeks or so) all wireless access will drop and a restart is needed

    It seems to me the belkin is to blame but to be fair it does have a lot of devices to work with. I've had trouble with belkin stuff before so it wouldn't surprise me if it was faulty. Am i asking too much of it?

    Opinions please, i don't want to fork out for a new router if i may be missing something in the setup, but thats what i intend to do next.

    Any other info i need to post up? The belkin modem is a F5D8636-4 v1

    Thanks!

    Par for the course with Belkin to be honest, I've never had any luck with any of their stuff. They just give trouble, lots of it.

    You've a router (Netgear) connected to a router (Belkin modem), that'll cause problems with You natting twice. What You need is a gigabit switch and let the Belkin handle all routing

    My brother had hassle with a belkin modem before so maybe its time to replace it, i wouldn't mind but it was bought to replace a dodgy belkin which i assumed to be a one off as it was a belkin...

    The netgear router is actually a switch, its a GS608. Its unmanaged which i think is best for what i want?
