back to my mac
Nighthawk X6 R8000 Firmware Version V1.0.3.4_1.1.2, OS X EL Capitan 10.11.4, "Back to my Mac" does not work?
Hello JamesGL,
I installed the latest firmware yesterday and it seems to work without the DMZ. Thank you for the heads-up. This makes me love my router even more! ;)
Hi jgohn,
Can you provide explanation for your issue? Provide screenshots as well.
I have the same problem. So I can help with the screenshots.
This should work through icloud so I don't have te set up/remember ip adresses etc. My previous router did work (a D-Link N router). So it is not something that only works with an Apple router.
Here is the Apple page about "Back to My Mac": Set up and use Back to My Mac
And here are the screenshots:
Details:
(it isn't slow, it just doesn't work).
The end result is I cannot reach my mac outside of my own network. It seems the UPnP does not work the way my iMac expects it to work (yes, I have UPnP turned on).
Hi GekkeHond,
Can you set the IP address on the MAC computer to DMZ and check it will work?

I am sorry, I totally missed I got a reply in this thread. I added my iMac to de DMZ zone and will check tomorrow if that works.
Should it work in de DMZ, but not through UPnP. It would not be the ideal solution. My network will be much easier to compromise, now all the ports are being forwarded.
