Has anyone sucessfully managed to port forward cameras on Telus WIfi Hub
Hi Everyone, just wondering if anyone has managed to sucessfully port forward any of their cameras on the newer Telus Wifi Hub (it is a white cylindrical shaped modem, there are no manufacturers that...
Certain ports on residential accounts are blocked at the router, 80 and 443 being 2 of them.
See this thread for a discussion on blocked ports: https://forum.telus.com/t5/Internet-Home-Phone/Port-blocking-STILL/m-p/67780
You need to use another port on the WAN side like 8080 and forward that to your camera on port 80 on the LAN side. If you have multiple cameras you will need multiple ports mapped. Something like this for HTTP:
WAN LAN 8081 -> Camera 1 IP: 80 8082 -> Camera 2 IP: 80 8083 -> Camera 3 IP: 80 8084 -> Camera 4 IP: 80 8085 -> Camera 5 IP: 80
You will need similar mapping for RTSP and HTTPS but each on different WAN port ranges. Assign static IP (DHCP reservation) for each of your cameras.
You need to set up a Dynamic DNS service so you can find your home external IP address. You can't count on the assigned IP address being the same over time. When you access camera 1 from outside your network you need to go to http:\\YOUR_DDNS_NAME:8081 for example.
No matter what I try, I still cannot get this to work. I have these ports programmed for one of my cameras (IP 192.168.1.121), HTTP port to 80, RTSP to 558, HTTPS to 443 and Server port to 8081. In Port Forwarding section of Telus Wifi Hub, for IP 192.168.1.121, Protocol TCP: I have programmed Port 80 (in min and max) in Private Port and 8081 (in min and max) in Public Port...does not work. I have programmed Port 558 (in min and max) in Private Port and 8081 (in min and max) in Public Port...does not work. I have programmed Port 443 (in min and max) in Private Port and 8081 (in min and max) in Public Port...does not work. I have programmed Port 8081 (in min and max) in Private Port and 8081 (in min and max) in Public Port...does not work.
When I was using my own Asus RT-AC68U modem (with ActionTec T1200H set to bridge mode) when I had the 150MB/Sec. plan worked fine for this particular Camera IP, all I had to do was to Port forward Internal Port to 80 and External Port to 558.
Not sure what I am doing wrong here
Having the same issue here. Already added all port forwarding rules and everything else I could think of and all ports appear as blocked. Any way to solve it?
Found this article that explains it in more detail for a specific app. You'll need to decide how much of it applies to your cameras/app.
