I've learned my networking knowlage by reading on line or asking
questions when I'm stuck! :)

So I can not recommend a book.

Here are some comments in addition to this thread:
- Do not use the router capability provided by your ISP.
This is mainly to avoid letting your ISP remotely control the thing and
disable the firewall for example.

If you can, use your own router.

If your ISP requires to work with their router put the ISP thing in
'bridge'/modem only mode, this will allow to get your public IPv4
address to your own gateway.


- Use VPN to access your servers remotely.

I find it easier to use a VPN (responsible for public remote connection)
to connect to my own network then use SSH (responsible for private
remote connection) to connect to my intranet devices

This also give you two layers of authentication and you have separate
services.
