So a bit of background info. I was originally running a full node with bitcoin-qt with no issues. I was averaging about 40 connections with a maximum of 80 from what I can recall. Well my old router/gateway was dropping it's internet connection and needed to be rest almost daily. I decided to replace it but I'm a noob and screwed up and only bought a router. I didnt want to buy a modem so I'm using the old router/gateway with dmz enabled and set the new router as the host. I also forwarded port 8333 on the new router.
It fixed the dropping internet issue but now I can only get a maximum of 14 connections with the lowest being 9. I know hardly anything about networking so I have no idea where to even begin solving this. I did check my node with
https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/#join-the-networkAnd it came back with a green check mark so I guess it's okay? Can anyone shed any light on what's going on? Thanks.
Edit: I also have DHCP enabled on both routers which I don't think is right. Maybe that has something to do with it?
