Port Forwarding EX6100 extender
Is it possible to port forward through a EX6100 extender?

Yes you can do port forwarding, but maybe not in a way you are used to.
First of all, I must say that since under Wireless > IP Address there is an option to "Enable NAT", one must consider the EX6100 Extender also as a router, i.e. simply a device that can route data between two different subnets.
Now you need to use the UPnP service on the EX6100 do do the port mapping.
It means:
1° Create your subnet through Wireless > IP Address using the NAT capability.
2° Activate UPnP under Do More > UPnP > Turn UPnP On.
3° Activate UPnP on the device that is located on your subnet and that will act as a server (webcam etc).
4° The forwarded port number must also be set on this device.
5° You don't need to add any static route on your EX6100.
6° If everything is OK, the device must appear under the UPnP Portmap Table with the port number you specified and the right IP address.
Once configured that way, your EX6100 will route any packet arriving on its outer IP with the port number specified, to the right device on your subnet.
Hope it helps.
