Firewall/NAT>Port Forwarding
1.Tick Show Advanced Options
2. Select the interface that is your WAN port
3. Tick "Hairpin NAT" (allows you to access the forwarded port from another computer behind the same router using your public IP as well as your internal IP) Tick Enable auto firewall.
4. Select your LAN interface if you want the port forwarding on a single interface or select "Switch0" for the port to be forwarded on all the ports that are part of the switch.
5. Add Rule Original Port and Forward to port the same, Protocol is probably TCP, add the IP of the NAS
6. Repeat 5 for the other port.

Cheers DIABLO, that's what I tried yet the NAS still reported it as not functioning for UPnP, yet on turning off my wifi on the phone and logging in via mobile phone signal I can see my NAS freely, so I'm going with the NAS is somehow wrongly reporting the fact it's no visible.

Will see if it all still works when it next gets rebooted.

uPNP is turned off by default on the router as it is not desirable in a business environment. Your NAS is aimed at consumers which usually use consumer routers which have upnp on by default as most consumers have no idea how to port forward that is why it is crying about the upnp even though the port has been manually opened. So it's not really a "error" that you should worry about.

You can enable upnp if you wish by going into

Config Tree > Service > upnp2

Listen-On = Switch0
nat-pmp = enable
port = specify a port or allow any port to be opened ( i think thats how it works)
secure-mode = enable
wan = your WAN interface

Hit Preview

You can disable the service if you wish by hiting the "-" icon

You can see what ports are being opened in the firewall and forwarded by upnp by opening the CLI and typing

show upnp2 rules

see if you have any luck with that, i'm far from a expert with this.

Hi all can anyone recommend me a router similar to EdgeRouter X but with more ethernet ports at similar orsame price?

Cheers

DIABLO · 9 Jan 2017 at 21:52

Don't think one exists, if people want more ports they connect another switch to it.

Thanks DIABLO!

Would it be possible to buy two Edgerouter x's and connect them together along with UAP AC LR?

Thanks mate

bledd · 9 Jan 2017 at 23:46

Typically you'd buy the USG or Edgerouter Lite, then buy an 8/16/24 port switch (switch doesn't have to be a Unifi one..)

This makes no obvious sense. If you need more ports do as suggested and add a switch.

Angerer · 10 Jan 2017 at 00:18

Right gotcha, cheers.

What you said would work fine as I use a USG as a Router connected to a ER-X setup as a hardware switch which in turn is providing POE and connectivity to my AP AC Lite. (The POE adaptor that came with the AP provides power for the ER-X and AP)

I currently use a Netgear R7000 or my home router, i port forward a server and cctv through it and also have a NAS on the network.

everything working fine but as ever in the world of tech, i want to tinker with a new gadget

my choice is get a low power pc for pfsense or buy a EdgeRouter L3

I have Virgin 200mb using the super hub in modem only mode

whats the edge router like in terms of user interface? or is mostly configured by cli?

all i will need to Open VPN setting up and port forwarding

Thanks

ChrisD. · 10 Jan 2017 at 10:32

Most of it is done in GUI now.

I believe about the only thing that can't be done via the GUI is VLAN.

bledd · 10 Jan 2017 at 10:49

Yup, OpenVPN is currenlty cli only. Plenty of guides for it though.

lmfy2k · 10 Jan 2017 at 12:17

Thanks guys

so the Edge Router L3 is the one to go for?

ChrisD. · 10 Jan 2017 at 12:17

L3? You mean the lite?

lmfy2k · 10 Jan 2017 at 12:31

sorry, yes, Lite-3 which is the 3 port version

shine · 10 Jan 2017 at 12:38

I replaced my network with a USG, Unfi Switch, AP-AC Pro and Cloud Key. WiFi is much faster and stable.

Very happy, wish I had done this a while ago.

It's a very powerful router for the money.

killsta · 10 Jan 2017 at 14:41

As is the X which is almost half the price, very happy with mine

lmfy2k · 10 Jan 2017 at 17:24
