Asus RT-AC68U: Merlin V. 378.55 : Port forwarding to an SSH server that is wifi connected to the guest network: this is because other credentialed users will remotely access the device and I prefer these users have no access other LAN devices. Isolation was tested and successful.

I had the idea that I could SSH into the device from the main subnet:

ssh -p 4321 myusername@me.fqdn.com
ssh -p 4321 myusername@184.WW.XX.YY

No joy: system times-out. Why does this not work? Is there a procedure that would enable this to work without defeating the isolation goal? I realize that I can have the laptop connect via the guest network to access the LAN-isolated SSH server, but my instincts tell me that I should be able to access the isolated SSH server through the WAN port forwarding.

LAN => WAN (port forwarding) => Isolated LAN

Actionable suggestions \ examples are appreciated: thank you.
 
There's another discussion on the Asus-Merlin threads with regards to NAT Loopback... might check there...
 
Thanks for the pointer. Do you recommend a specific thread / URL?
