Re: Home Internet - Port Forwarding not working
reversedbias wrote: I was able to get port forwarding to work. In my setup I use the T-Mobile Gateway→USG-3P →Home Network. In this case I have a router behind another router.In the home network I have a Plex Media server. Here's the steps I used to get the Plex Media server to talk to devices outside (Internet) the home network. Change the IP address of the T-Mobile gateway from 192.168.1.1 to192.168.1.2 I left the USG-3P address range at 192.168.1.x Enabled port forwarding on the USG-3P so that 32400 would reach my Plex server. Essentially nothing changed on the USG-3P, this was what I had when it was connected to a Comcast modem. On the T-Mobile Gateway I enabled the DMZ and put the USG-3P into it. I disabled all Wifi capability of the T-Mobile Gateway, and only used a single LAN connection directly into the USG-3P. I disabled ALL firewall settings on the T-Mobile Gateway. I figured this is okay because the only outlet is directly into my USG-3P router that has all it's firewall enabled. Again, all Wifi is disabled on the T-Mobile Gateway and the only outlet is a LAN port directly into the USG-3P which firewalls my home network. I set the virtual server routing on the T-Mobile Gateway for port32400 to point to the USG-3P. After that I was able to successfully get devices on the external Internet to talk to my Plex server. Logically it seemed that I would only either need to enable DMZ or Virtual Server, and it seemed like I shouldn't have to disable all the T-Mobile Firewalls, but it wouldn't work unless I did all the above steps. Again, I would not recommend this unless you have a dual router situation, you disable Wifi on the T-Mobile router, and you place your entire home network behind a second router that has the proper Firewall protections. I have the exact setup (even the firewall USG) as you and it's not working. Could you expound on step 2? Are you saying the wan on the USG is 192.168.1.x? I think the default is 192.168.1.130. What if I may ask is your internal IP range behind the USG ? Otherwise I have setup the same way you did yet I still can't get traffic through. This is a deal breaker so I am hopeful I can get this to work. I wish they would give us bridge mode, but this setup should still work. Anyway, appreciate the help. I called support and they are told to skip NAT and are not trained so they can't help.1Ver0likes0Comentarios
