cannot find device in list for port forwarding in my google wifi app

praveen2k4 — Wed, 12 Jan 2022 18:32:10 GMT

My home automation has a reserved ip address and was able to setup port forwarding rules in my older netgear router.
I setup a new google wifi and I am unable to find the device in the list for port forwarding even when the system is hard wired to the wifi router. How can I just set up a port forwarding rule without selecting a device?

I have the same problem, one device with fixed IP is not showing up in the list of devices, hence cannot do port forwarding.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I generated traffic to/from the device, after a while (a few hours) it was back in the list…

Hi. Thank you for your reply. I waited a hour or two and then the device appeared in the list.

Strange, but it worked
