RN102 Network & Port settings
Hello people.Recently i bought an rn102 with 3tb red disk ,. I did install all fine , i am able streaming my movies/series to my smart tv though that happens only in my home. When i am out and wann...
You shouldn't be using port 80. The admin panel uses https, not http. That usually uses port 443. Port 80 won't work unless you enable http admin access in the NAS (which you SHOULDN'T).
So you could forward 443.
But If you have other devices that you might want to access remotely (including your router's admin page) you can pick a different port to forward. For example 54321. You'd configure 54321 as the secondary https port in system->services. Forward 54321 in the router. And access the admin page as https://vkoukoutis.ddns.net:54321/admin
Reserve IP address for Nas means even if it restarts modem or Nas my ip will be still the same like 192.168.1.101 right ?
About virtual servers yes I already got that
I am a bit confused about Nas ip and how it can be static even if both modem and Nas restarts

That is standard behaviour for dhcp/automatic address assignment. The router checks its binding list, and when it finds the MAC address there, it simply assigns the IP address it finds in the binding table. Also, it won't assign a bound address to any other device. The MAC address is hard-wired into the ethernet (or wifi chip) in the device, so it doesn't change.
You could alternatively configure a static address in the NAS. However, I don't recommend that. If you configure the static address in the NAS, you can lose the ability to access it altogether when you upgrade your router. There are ways to fix that, but it is easily avoided by using the binding feature in your router. If you were to upgrade your router, you'd lose the binding, but the NAS would still be reachable. So all you'd need to do is reassign it in the new router when you do the port forwarding. So the reserved address/binding approach is better.
If you are interested in learning more about how networking works, understanding more about how MAC addresses are used is a useful topic to research.
So i did the whole mac thing.
I addressed 192.168.1.101 to my mac & use it for port fowarding at virtual servers.
I can access now plex & transimission i cant though use the admin panel
I opened 80(for admin panel), 8181 , 32400 for other.
What i have done wrong?
