Hi everyone.
This is my first post here.
So first of all i'm gonna give the configuration i currently have, which is somewhat working
The only difference between this image and my actual setup is that i have a router instead of a switch, and that router is sharing through wireless
I use the router to share across multiple devices. The only way i could do that with the wireless bridge device is if i set it to repeater mode, but that will keep the same SSID and I don't want that. I also don't know if by setting it to repeater mode i can disable broadcasting and still connect it by cable to a router, haven't tried that yet, and i'm not sure if that's even a possible thing to do.
You might be thinking why i'm telling you all this if this setup is currently working. Well, the thing is, while i'm playing GTA5 Online i keep getting messages that my NAT type is strict, even tho i have no firewalls, only the windows firewall, but it's open for the game. So i thought it could be something in the configuration that is keeping/showing the ports as closed, because all ports show up as closed. Well at least the (about) 20 ports that i tested.
The main router is a Thomson TG784N, DHCP ON (and i have to keep it that way), the wireless bridge device is a TP-Link TL-WA701ND, curently with no DHCP with a static IP within the range of the main router's DHCP, and the router that's connected through cable to the bridge is a TP-Link TL-WR740N and this one also has DHCP turned ON.
I don't know if i should give more info on what i have, i'm not an advanced user at this, i just have good basic knowledge about networking.
There's the possiblity of the ISP being blocking the doors, but i don't believe that to be true.
Sorry for any bad english, it's not my main language
EDIT: Forgot to mention that if I connect a pc directly to the bridge through cable the ports are still closed
