Hi,

I have a brand new router, running 6.32.1 and have tried all the instructions I can find to configure port forwarding for my CCTV on port 9000 so have a NAT rule for dstnat for my external IP, port 9000 to 192.168.1.140:9000 and everything is fine for local connection to 192.168.1.140 so I know the system is working, but cannot get my iPad or phone to connect to the CCTV using the external IP.

It worked fine on the Asus router this one replaces with much more straight forward settings.
The firewall settings are as they were when the box was first configured.

I'm really stuck and don't want to have to go back to the Asus.

TIA

Hello,

Please post here your Firewall and NAt rules.

Did you add a Filter rule to accept the traffic? Are you trying to access your public IP from your LAN? Then you need to configure Hairpin NAT.

Also make sure, your device has a default gateway.

The CCTV DVR has 192.168.1.254 as the default GW, unchanged from when it worked fine with the Asus router.

Hi,

I set and reset the FW filter and NAT rules, as well as put in a hairpin NAT as per the instructions found on this site. I can see traffic traverse the NAT connection, but it's 'bitty', in as much as it looks like lots of attempts to connect, but not flowing traffic.

The client I use was tested yesterday on a 4G connection 100 miles from the CCTV and router, and nothing. However, if I use the client software that ships with the DVR, it uses the QR code on the unit to attach, and, using 3G, so completely seperate connection, it works.

Yours, confused of Warwickshire.

Hello,

Do not specify in interface and test again from outside.

Thanks, that's how it's setup, so from outside I can now access it.

Just a few other niggles to work out now

Hello,
