Nest WiFi not forwarding ssh?

motowanderer — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 02:47:35 GMT

I'm running a local web server on my home network. I can port forward 443 and 80 no problem, but 22 is not working. I tried running SSH on a different port, and that's not working either.

Does NestWiFi not support forwarding SSH traffic? If so, I'll have to buy new networking equipment.

Hi @motowanderer!

Thanks for posting in the community. I understand that you're trying to set up your Nest WiFi router in developer mode. Here's a breakdown of the steps involved:

Tools Required:

A screwdriver
A USB-C adapter with Power Delivery
A USB drive with the GaleForce software

Once you have that, let’s continue with the following steps:

Use a screwdriver, USB-C adapter, and precise button presses to put the router into developer mode
Insert a USB drive with the GaleForce software

You can also set up port forwarding or port opening on a Google Nest WiFi router using the Google Home app:

Open the Google Home app
Tap Favorites Wifi Settings
Advanced Networking
Port management > Add
Select the tab for the type of IP address you're forwarding
Select a device
Add your internal and external ports
Choose either Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), or TCP/UDP
Tap Save

Let me know if this works for you; we'll be on the lookout to help you further.

Regards,

Catheryn.

Hi Catheryn,

I did use the Google Home app and set up port forwarding, but it's not working. Do I have to also do the screwdriver thing?

Thanks.
