I tried to help a friend get his businesses network back online today. Their office moved and they were too far away for the two normal carriers here. They went with Viasat who provided a modem that won’t let us configure a dang thing about it. I called support who claimed no settings can be changed on it. He couldn’t get internet into his router and I told him about the double NAT. It’s probably not a good idea to let a $40 device run everything for their network. They have commercial switch and routing hardware. Is there any kind of clever way to use a VRF or static route so that the normal core router can route? Is this a fools errand? Should he ditch Viasat at all costs?
