Firmware & Remote Management Question
Hello, I did a bit of searching but I wasn't able to find out exactly what I needed since most of the previous discussions were already closed. Basically, I am on V1.0.11.136_10.2.120 with my R70...
michaelkenward thanks for the info. I will take a look at that link. So more or less if I want to have that feature the only thing that I can do is roll back the FW to a previous time when it was there. I feel like this might be a better solution rather than keeping the port forwarding settings on when I am not using them.
You can set up Port Triggering instead of forwarding. Will close ports after a while of no usage.
microchip8 If I do that and need to re-open, I am not able to until I am back at the web console correct? As in, there is no way to re-activate even in the Nighthawk App?
- Triggering is dynamic meaning it opens the port whenever a service starts to use it and closes it after a while if it's no longer in use. The only downside of triggering is that only one service at a time can open/trigger the port. If you have multiple services using the same port, it won't work.
microchip8 I really only have one port forwarding service running ever. Since I am doing that, I am probably okay to this try this then?

Thanks to microchip8 for confirming that I am not mad.
