Nighthawk M1 does not port forward and cannot get help from netgear
So I have a business account with telstra on the extranet apn and they adminantly say that it is not behind a CGNAt and that portforwarding should work and it is the modem at fault. I have also confi...
A way to check if you have the telstra extranet apn properly configured is to compare the IP you have received under the modem dashboard >settings>network>ipv4 = "your address" ,then open a google page and type what is my IP. If the two IP's are the identical then you have the extranet set up correctly and you are not behind a CGNAT If you have different IP's then first check that under your modem Dashboard>settings>advanced>cellular is set to telstra.extranet and not the default telstra.internet, if so then have telstra confirm you have been allocated with a extranet on your account
Thanks for your reply. Yes I have an ip that is the same as in the router networ status page. So I am on the extranet . However I need to know if anyone has an ftp server or any other server working behind the M1 router. Either the netgear modem is not port forwarding or there is still content filtering on the extranet network. I desperatley need to know if anyone has a service running behind the Nighthawk m1 on anynetwork ... Many thanks.
And should I just tick the box for DMZ and put in the ip address of the ftp server (A Synology NAS) .
Or is there more to that I need to do to make sure hte firewall on the model is open?
Many thanks.
