Hi, I've recently upgraded to a Smart Hub Pro (WiFI 7) having previously been using an ancient BT branded Router.
Internet and WiFi setup all went well, that part is working fine, however the Port Forwarding just doesn't seem to work at all.
I run a Raspberry Pi with various Internet facing servers for which I forward the ports individually, Nothing I can do seems to forward traffic to the appropriate device.
I've tried using custom IP Ranges, the default IP Ranges with the target machine both in and outside of the DHCP IP range in both cases.
Even setting the DMZ to that machine doesn't do anything. I've read every post in here I can find and on the Internet.
As soon as I switch back to the old router everything works as expected but identical, and even greatly simplified versions of the Port Forwarding configurations just don't seem to do anything. The Ports appear open on a scan but no traffic arrives.
I'm still in my cool off period so will be returning the device and going elsewhere if I can't get this rather basic function to work.
Anything to try before I jump ship?
Thanks
