Portforwarding

JustHans
Community Member

I need help port-forwarding on a google nest wifi. Whatever i do the port-forwarding does not work. On the app it says that the port is opened and i have set up a DCHP IP-reservation but to no avail. I was on customer support for several hours, but they couldn't fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

What device are you port forwarding to?

Have you made sure it (the device) doesn't randomize MAC address?

Is it connected by cable? More reliable than Wi-Fi.

General info, just in case you haven't seen it already:

I have got my computer connected via ethernet. I have checked the IPv4 and the MAC address and they are correct

To what box have you connected your computer by ethernet cable, directly to the primary Nest Wifi point? What IP address does it get?

Do you really have your two other points in bridge mode (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/6240987?hl=en) rather than regular wireless mesh mode (https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9548301?hl=en)?

ISP Modem in bridge mode -> Primary Nest Puck in NAT-Mode -> 2 other nest pucks around the house in Bridge mode

Hi, everyone.
As we haven't had any activity here recently I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. If you have more to add, feel free to start a new discussion.

I found someone who had the same problem and found a solution, but i don't know what it means or what i should do. Could you tell me? "

Did you make sure the ISP modem is doing the pass through to the new nest wifi.

If I remember, I had to set my ISP router to forward to the Mac of my nest wifi.

Also is the ip address your nest wifi from the public net (10.100.x.x or so)or a local address (192.168.x.x)"
