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! ;)
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?
