BT Home Hub Localhost access not working

Erm yeah that’s hard to pick one · 19 Jan 2024 at 22:16

Got a BT Home Hub on FTTP 1Gb service. Have a small Trigkey G4 N100 PC running Linux. On the machine it’s self I can access localhost:8888/map.html no problem. On my
Phone or laptop over WiFi (local network) I can’t. Even if I try the IP of the device 192.168.1.223:8888/map.html still not able too. I’ve rebooted the hub incase was some strange CACHE issue but no joys. Any idea.

Cheers

Does it have a WLAN Management/Access setting? Sure I've had routers in the past with this option.

It’s pretty basic and normally stuff just works.

If you're accessing an IP in the same subnet then this has nothing to do with the BT Hub as the packets aren't going to it. Probably a local firewall on the Linux device.
