New Home Network.. Issues seeing UTM off a Netgear C7000

UTM SG105W

Netgear C7000 Modem/Router

 

Had this UTM SG105W up over 4 years at another location with a different edge router.. (ATT Uverse)

Moved and setting it up from factory default as couldn't get into the UTM after the move plus I didn't like the way it was previously set up...

 

I used the serial/terminal with Sophos support and we changed the IP address on the WAN interface to something other than 192.168.0.1 as that is my default gateway.

Changed my IP4 IP network settings on the PC to allow access into the UTM

Was able to log into the UTM and start making changes via the web interface...

Once satisfied with all of the settings.. we were ready to change the WAN interface to something like a 192.168.0.X and the default gateway to 192.168.0.1 (same as the netgear)[I might be mistaken on what we set the default gateway to]  We also changed the PC plugged into the UTM to auto obtain IPs and such..

The hope/idea was the UTM would appear as another device on the network as would anything plugged into it...

 

 

Still not able to get access to the internet.. ping others..  ping the default gateway... ect...

Sophos thought perhaps this was a negotiation setting in the netgear (auto/full/half ect) and suggested changing however I don't see that as an option in the GUI.  They asked me to call them back after more testing...

So let them go... and then just rebooted the Netgear.. and boom my UTM was visable to all... could ping the default gateway..  but still not inernet access..  (rules and such created were all/any)

All devices were a 192.168.0.X  Thought not a touchdown.. was seeing progress....

 

Took a day off,, tried to tackle it again... sat down and the Netgear couldn't see the UTM anymore... and I couldn't log into it via the LAN interface anymore with the web browser.....

I know what we changed the WAN and LAN interfaces to as I took pics..

Rebooted everything... nada.. still cant ping anything,, cant see it... can't see other devices...

So back to square one... and was going to call sophos again and go through this again.

 

In a nut shell... all I want to do... is run all of my household items,, tablets,, thermostats,, ect directly off the Netgear wifi... and hang the UTM off one of the ports on the Netgear... then hang a media server and PC off the back of the UTM... but need them to all be on the same network.. 192.168.0.X

I would think this would be a simple task but .. guess not...

Keeping everything on the same network has been the only way I have been able to share media and files across all devices without issue.  Example some AVRs and TVs require it to be on the same network for a media server..

What am I missing in my configs?

Appreciate the tips/advice/help!

 

Thanks much..

Dustin

  • Hi, Dustin, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Agreed about the wimpy WiFi on the 105w.  It's really only meant for a small, 1-or-2-room office.  You'd have been ahead if you'd gotten the 10r with an AP 55.

    I also agree with rfcat_vk and oldeda - get a "normal" modem and use that router as a wireless switch.

    As for the service/advice provided by your reseller and Sophos Consulting, I can only express my disappointment.  I wish you luck.

    Cheers - Bob
