Nighthawk AX2400 (RAX30) not forwarding port 8123
My old N600 (which has been great for the last 12 years) decided that yesterday was it's last day in my service (she died) so I brought a Nighthawk AX2400. I have a Home Assistant server running ...
I'm a bit puzzled by where the internal IP address in there came from.
I wouldn't expect to see 192.168.0.1.
By default your router likes to squat on 192.168.1.1.
Something carried over from your anonymous N600 device?
Hey michaelkenward
The internal address is the address of my Home Assistant server, it's where I want any data that comes into the router from the outside world on port 8123 to be forwarded to
michaelkenwardOh, I should read better đ€Ł
192.168.0.1 is the address I've always given my routers, I change it from default coz most of my devices have static IPs... Just a thing in my head from setting up Linux PC's as modem/LAN/firewalls from back in the dial-up days. Not wise these days?? Didn't think it mattered? But I haven't done much networking since those days
Makes sense. I was just a bit puzzled by the "out of the ordinary" setting.
That IP address has sometimes revealed extra devices on the network that get in the way of the router.
I also fix IP addresses on various devices on the network.
Thanks man...
Any thoughts on why 8123 would not be aloud to be open? makes no sense to me and it's worked on other routers
