I was wondering if someone could help me with my Asus RT-N56U issue.
I just installed the Asus RT-N56U router to replace an older Linksys router.
I have a small home network that has a single wired computer and a couple wireless computers/devices. Everything on the LAN is located behind the router (no DMZ, etc.) and all the local computers can access the internet.
The issue: I have single wireless Axis camera on the internal network. I want to be able to access this camera from the outside internet but I currently cannot. I must not have the port forwarding set correctly.
I have entered information in the virtual server for this device for a specific port but I still can't access it from the outside.
Current results:
- I can see the internal camera ip addrss (192.168.1.100) on the asus router network map.
- From internal network, I can access the camera with no problem. default http port for camera is port 80
- From outside internet, I can ping my external router ip address.
- From outside internet, I can access the Asus RT-N56U admin on port 8080. It prompts me for the user/pw and I can log in.
- From outside internet, when I try to access the camera via the external port I set up for it, I get - could not connect to 69.131.xxx.xxx (my enternal ip address)
Here is what I've configured that (i think) are relevant:
Firewall:
1. enable firewall: yes
2. enable web access from Wan: yes
Wan:
1. Wan connection type: automatic IP
2. Virtual Server:
1. enable virtual server: yes
2. added to virtual server list:
service-Cam1 portRange-8001 localip-192.168.1.100 localPort-80 protocol-TCP
From the outside I then try to access via external IP on port 8001 http://69.131.xxx.xxx:8001 but it fails with could not connect to 69.131.xxx.xxx
When I look at the system log -> port forwarding page it has an entry that looks like it should forward port 8001 requests to the appropriate local camera device. It has: destination-all proto-TCP Portrange-8001 redirectTo-192.168.1.100
Any suggestions on what else I need to set to allow external access to that internal camera device (192.168.1.100) or for that matter any other internal device?
Thanks for your help.
