That's the explanation. Two computers and two printers upstairs.
Router/modem at the fibre termination downstairs.
So how is our network diagram now, for accuracy.

Are we missing anything in the diagram ?

Nope. With a bit more information it's still:

I wonder who they wrote the user manual for, on the NF4V ?

https://support.netcommwireless.com/...User-Guide.pdf

The manual is written as if IPV4 doesn't even exist.

That's an Australian manual and appears to be the same as mine.

A Ctrl-f turns up "IPV4" in several places.

Why is there only a DHCPv6 and no setting for
DHCP for IPV4 ?

The modem was supplied by my ISP configured to suit their end of the
system. I will telephone their help desk in the morning (it's now
evening here) and ask them what I can do about it. This is the manual,
if it is the same as mine, which gave me the wrong address for logging
into the router.

Sure, it does have a status for something V4 related,
but that's not a lot of good if you can't compare
that information to what you originally set
for the range.



Now, I've seen some pretty strange manuals, and the
strange stuff happens when the document author
"tries to use the fewest bytes possible to make a PDF".

I've seen pictures of router web interfaces, where
the resolution was dropped to the point the picture
was completely illegible. Picture after picture
after picture, just a blur. And you just know
the dude who did that got an "attaboy" from the
boss for making the manual as small as possible.
