Hi all. I live in a condo building that provides fibre via a host wireless router installed in the property by the owners. I decided to wire connect my router off this unit and run all my wirelss and wired devices off my own Asus RT-AC68U router.
However, i am now building remote access to my NAS and PC via aiCloud and there is no way to remotely connect to the router behind a router via a ddns simplified address.
Having checked net seems to be some talk of DMZ and port fowarding and wondered if there is any best reference or sources available (or experienced suggestions) to help.
Thanks, in advance.
Without control of their device, you can't (efficiently). You can do some tricky stuff with SSH tunnels or VPN connections to a VPS, but it is a bit of work and definitely more fragile and you will be limited by the speed of your VPS.

Yeah, without control of the first router you can't configure port forwarding. You could try asking whoever is in charge of it if they can (or will let you) set a port forward to your router, then you can set a port forward on your router to the device you want to access remotely.
Yeah. I guessed as much. Will work on them to give me access control.
Thanks for replies.
Theoretically, if upnp is enabled on the second router, you could send it upnp requests to forward ports via a program like this one, http://www.howtogeek.com/122227/how-to-quickly-forward-ports-on-your-router-from-a-desktop-application/

As others have suggested I would contact your landlord.
I own an apartment building as well and have a similar setup. If anyone needs anything port forwarded I'm more than willing to do so if they let me know.

Edot: don't DMZ it because all request will go to you. Port forwarding is best in your case.
