Connecting remotely to your home router allows you to manage it from anywhere.
Connecting remotely to your home router allows you to manage it from anywhere.
You’re trying to reach your home router from abroad using a domain setup you created. You followed a popular YouTube tutorial and managed to set up a domain, which now lets you access the router via that domain instead of the static IP. However, mobile data isn’t working, so you’re stuck on the local WiFi. You’re wondering about the correct remote management settings and IP address to use. You’re unsure whether to use your default admin IP, the public IP from a search, or the No-IP address linked to your domain. You also need to decide what port (8080) to use and which IP to assign for remote access.
Verify if a public IP was assigned. Search online for "IP" to confirm it matches your console output. Many internet service providers allocate private IPs within their networks to end users due to the limited number of IPv4 addresses. Private IPs aren't compatible with DDNS. If you have a public IP, enter it directly in the console by typing "YOUR IP :8080". Then set up your DDNS and the login will update to "YOUR DDNS ADDRESS :8080". Be aware that your ISP or mobile carrier might block specific ports, so adjust the port if necessary.
Ok I don't have any knowledge of dealing with network stuff so please bare with me.. 1) What are u referring to as the console? As in CMD? Cz I'll be mostly accessing the network through my phone so I don't know how to do that there .. 2) how do I check it with the console? Is it that ipconfig thing? And if so, what about from my phone? 3) what do I do if it matches? And what do I do if it doesn't? 4) i googled my ip and it gave me something...I think that's my public IP....I did "mypublicIP:8080" but it's not working...I'm guessing it's cz I haven't configured my router with that IP or something so there are practically no links between my public IP and my router? So How do I do that? And how do I configure my DNS to it? Here's a screenshot of my DDNS config.... The username and pass is the same as no-ip and the domain is the one I created... And as u can see in the other screenshot, I can access my login page with that domain but I'm under WiFi already... Also side note... This only works when the remote ip address (screenshot from original post) is set to the default... 0.0.0.0 and port to 8080 and nothing else works...I tried adding my public IP and also the IPv4 but neither of em work.
Here, 87.214.145.201 represents the IP assigned to this modem-router unit. It’s also my public address. Essentially, there are only a limited number of IPv4 addresses available. You either receive a public IP from your internet service provider, or a private IP through Network Address Translation (NAT). A public IP grants open access, whereas a private IP offers better security but requires additional steps like DDNS, which is typically a paid service. In this scenario, you likely don’t have a public IP (meaning you’re on a private network) or your ISP has blocked port 8080. You’ll need to adjust port forwarding and NAT settings, which involves some technical work. The “remote management” feature is meant for devices outside your wide area network to reach the router. A “remote IP address” describes the device that connects to the router. Setting “0.0.0.0” lets any device access the router via port 8080. Identify your IP type first. Based on what I understand, if you can log in locally with DDNS enabled, the client-side configuration should be accurate. Depending on your IP type, further adjustments might be necessary.
You have a public IP address, which is what you see on the internet. You mentioned needing extra payment to get a private IP, which suggests you're using a service or router that assigns dynamic IPs. It seems you're referring to your router's settings or a port forwarding configuration. Based on what you said, port forwarding might be the solution you're considering.
