Nest WiFi not forwarding ssh?

[motowanderer]

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.
