Netgear MR5100 Nighthawk 5G - Port Forward
I would like to setup Port Forwarding in the router but it doesn't look like it works with 5G. I can find out what my IP is on the 5G network(ATT) (using www.whatismyipaddress.com) but when I try to ...
I have the exact same issue and the same questions. I'm trying to port forward or dmz thru this ATT 5G router (made by Netgear) and cannot get it working despite all te familiar settings. I've done this many times with Netgear routers on cable isp or on dsl connections thru bridged att dsl modems.
The WAN P reporting from admin interface of router versus actual discovered WAN IP is an anomaly I don't know what to make of. My suspicion is that the cellurlar network is at issue. I'm just trying to gain external access to my camera NVR, which we did easily thru our old DSL connection, which ATT is dropping service on.
I'm going to subscribe to a static IP address on this connection, see if that then allows WAN connection.
Please let me know if you get any resolution. ATT tech support for 5G doesn't have any external WAN IP support - they say they just don't do that for this product. Yikes.
Usually wireless operators don't allow incoming connections. Some carriers provide the service with extra charge and you need to subscribe to their static IP service.
Thanks
