I would like to do port forwarding, so that I can access my home server from the Internet.
The layout looks as the attached image. I have a public ip and when ever a request for certain ports comes from outside I want to redirected it to the server I have connected to one of the routers.
Before I just have two routers The Motorola SBG 800 and the TP-LINK TL-WR841N. And it worked perfect, ssh, http, vnc, …
Now I have added an 8port DSL router (TP-LINK TL-R860) and used the same logic to redirect the request. But it didn’t work.
It sometimes works like when I reset the routers or reboot etc… but not consistently.
What could be the issue? I am more on the software engineering side than networking. Any comment will be appreciated.
