Explain how server forwarding works.
Hey there! I'm new to networking despite being around computers all my life. I'm getting ready to switch to Android soon, but the green bubbles are giving me trouble. Most of my friends tease me about it, so I discovered a handy tool called weServer that needs port forwarding. I have some questions about it, especially since I'm using a fioptics modem (which can act as a router but is turned off) and two Apple Airport Express routers. I've tried forwarding ports on the airports multiple times without success and wondered if I should also open the modem's ports. It seems like a straightforward issue, but Google hasn't been very helpful so far. Thanks for your time!
Ensure the modem doesn’t require opening a port. Your typical setup uses just one router, with the other configured in AP mode.
Avoid connecting anything to the wan port, as it won't work with native mode. What is the network diagram?
I understand you're having trouble. Can you clarify what you need?
Create a network diagram showing one airport router connected via a cable to the WAN port.
Sure, take your time reviewing the details. I’ll be here when you’re ready!
I noticed a small adjustment needed. The first setup uses the wan port connected, while the second is powered via Wi-Fi.
