IP addresses differ, preventing port forwarding.
IP addresses differ, preventing port forwarding.
I'm working on configuring multiple ports through your router (ASUS DSL-A68U with latest firmware). It seems the device keeps showing mismatched external and WAN IP addresses. Your ISP claims you have a static IP, which they are correct about. The issue persists despite changes. Could this be a problem they need to resolve? Or is there a way to manually set the correct IPs in your router settings? I've tried researching this but haven't found a clear solution yet. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the details you requested:
WAN IP from your router
External IP shown by www.ipchicken.com (formatted as x or 0)
It seems this setup might be complicated because I’m not certain about the exact hardware involved. I’m using a satellite that connects to an access point on a hill. On the satellite, there looks like a box that sends free WiFi for anyone nearby, while my private connection runs at 100/25 Mbps. I think there’s some kind of routing equipment or modem on the satellite. I’ve reached out to my ISP to get more details.
Thanks for the info. For marking it as solved, simply delete the thread if you no longer need it. If you want to keep a record, you can post a summary or note about it.
Ensure you notice the Mark as Answer choice. This helps preserve context for others. It’s better to keep the thread open if possible.
And it works now... I realize this update is outdated, but I’ve been trying to access the port forwarding for months. (I’m also using Uniti Wireless). Thanks everyone, I understand it’s not me and I’ll reach out to them directly.
