RBRE960 - Port Forward to Guest Network
Hi - I have a need to use port forwarding to my guest network and cannot seem to make it work or it's simply not allowed. I have many static IP addresses plus many DHCP ones for all the devices i...
Not allowed.
Static meaning Static IP addresses set ON devices or IP address reservations set ON the router?
Try using the IoT network if this is what your working with.
Thanks,
I can accept the not allowed as I couldn't find a solution.
It really had nothing to do with the static IP addresses as that was just as added description. I use static IP simply because I want to be able to port forward to a specific internal server. So, say port 8055 needs to go to 192.168.1.55, I would really like it to go to 192.168.2.55. That way my work doesn't affect the standard home network.
If not allowed, it's not allowed.
Be sure to understand that the term STATIC for networking configurations means that the STATIC IP address is set ON devices. IP Address reservations are set ON the router. Just to be clear here.
Good Luck.
