Port forwarding and/or DMZ not working.

Hi, I'm running firmware NTG9X50C_12.06.39.00.

 

I'm using the M1 mostly has a modem with Wi-Fi offload. I've setup a proper router and wi-fi device connected through ethernet. I want to be able to remotely manage this other device so I tried setting up both port forwarding rules and a DMZ server but I'm unable to connect to it. I've seen scattered reports that it's working/not working, but I'm obviously not getting it to work myself. I've tried port scanners in both LTE mode and while connected to Wi-fi (offload), but I'm getting 0 results back.

 

Anyone have a solution?

    Hi

     

    The M1 gateway address must be outside of home router's DHCP. So in case you have home router at 192168.1.1 then set the M1 GW to e.g 192.168.10.1 and you can access it. In this case you will have double nat and both routers will have their own DHCP.

     

    Cheers
