Hi folks,
@Anonymousity, thanks for posting. Let’s get you set up. Here are the steps you can follow:
Change your DHCP settings
- Open the Google Home app.
- Tap Wi-Fi > Settings > Advanced Networking.
- Tap DHCP IP reservations > Add IP reservations.
- Tap the device for which you’d like to assign a static IP.
- Enter a static IP address, then tap Save.
Set up port forwarding or port opening
- Open the Google Home app.
- Tap Wi-Fi > Settings > Advanced Networking.
- Tap Port management > Add.
- Select the tab for the type of IP address you're forwarding.
- Select a device.
- Add your internal and external ports.
- For IPv4: Choose an internal port used by the device on the local network and an external port on the WAN. You can enter a single port number (#) or a port range (####-####).
- Note: When entering a port range internal and external ranges need to be the same. This is not the case for single port forwarding.
- For IPv6: Enter the port range.
- Note: Some devices will suggest what ports to use, while others let you choose. If you don’t know which ports to forward, contact the device manufacturer or check the device's manual.
- Choose either Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), or TCP/UDP. These are different protocols used to send data over the internet.
- Tap Save.
Let me know if you encounter any issues. I’ll wait for your update.
