I downloaded app and connected to the BBC player server but then lose internet connection so assume I need to do something with router? Or maybe not?

I then got the VPN Unlimited OpenVPN for BBC iPlayer settings from here:https://www.vpnunlimitedapp.com/en/info/manuals/how-to-manually-create-vpn-conf I followed the instructions to get the VPN Unlimited OpenVPN files onto the router here:http://www.gl-inet.com/docs/openwrt/openvpn/ I now have a VPN network that I have a Humax Satellite Box and an Amazon Firestick connected to permanently. I can connect on demand from any other device and have access to BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, Demand5 without having to do any fiddling about!!

Doodah7 wrote: » Yes from the eir modem. My set up is that I have the eir F1000 modem/router which I have in bridge mode. Connected to this through ethernet is an Apple Time Capsule which acts as the main router for most of the internet connected devices in the house. I connected the new mini router by ethernet into another port on the eir router and set it up from there as a separate network with its own SSID/password using VPN Unlimited permanently. Any device in the house can connect to this on demand and access UK services. However I have a Humax hdr-1100s satellite box and an Amazon Firestick full time accessing this second network. I am able to use BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub and Demand5 as if I was sitting in central London. Speeds for the mini router are not stellar but most devices connect between 10-12 Mbps which is perfectly fine for streaming catch-up services. It has been handy this week to use the iPlayer to stream the snooker on the 'Red Button' on the satellite box. A secondary benefit is that the VPN Unlimited 5 device limit licence is meaningless as I only really need one on the router.

Doodah7 wrote: » I think the key issue is to put the modem/router into bridge mode. As the F1000 has four ethernet ports on the back, having it in bridge mode just makes it work like a dumb modem as a means of connecting to the ISP. I thought that pretty much every router would work the same?
TheDriver wrote: » so you have 2 router devices then giving out IP addresses? It seems from the amazon page, that you could simply connect into any modem not in bridge mode and it acts as some form of wireless access point.
Doodah7 wrote: » Yes two routers creating separate networks sharing the same modem and single ISP. I *think* that for the VPN to work it must be on its own SSID/network rather than simply acting as an access point as otherwise the DHCP will be sourced directly from the ISP and thus will be Irish. I could be wrong though!! I'm not a networking expert but can cobble stuff together in a pinch!! The mini device can act as a router, an access point, a wifi repeater or simply as a modem in its own right in certain circumstances.
