EX6400 port forwarding

 

 

I have an IP camera correctly configured for being accesible from Internet through DDNS and having opened a couple of ports in the router, all this if the camera is conected directly to the wifi of the router.

 

The place where I want to physically install the camera is too far from the router, and wifi's signal is too low. So I decided to buy an EX6400 WiFi Range Extender.

 

I extended correctly the wifi of the router, and now the EX6400 extends the wifi coverage creating a new wifi network from EX6400. The problem is that if I connect the camera to EX6400 wifi network then the port is not reachable from Internet.

 

Support from the camera provider told me that I need to carry out a port forwarding in the EX6400, but I don't know how.

 

Please, could you help me?

    Hello enrique 

     

    You would do the port forwarding in the router but you many want to reserve the Ip address of the extender on the router.
