Port Forwarding and NH20A (Telus Internet Hub)
I got my equipment upgraded last week to include the new NH20A. Really nice piece of hardware. Get the install completed, so grab the admin credentials and get to work configuring it. Proper DDNS cli...

Ok, got yeah.... The basis of the bridged mode is to remove any functions from the NH20A device, and allow a direct passthrough of the Telus signal.
Those of us that want to have our own dedicated networking devices this is the best way to accomplish the task.
I for one have a direct connected Telus connection to my Ubiquiti Unifi network consisting of a Unifi router device, a number of Unifi switches, and then wireless AP's and MoCa devices as required to cover my needs.
The setup requires more devices, and hence cost to the individual, however, I can manipulate, port forward, isolate my entire network to my hearts desire.
The NH20A is a great device if you want to only utilize basic functions, however, once you delve into the more structured network topology, you a correct that the internal functions may not accommodate what you may desire.

Agreed.
I'm at a loss to explain or understand why it's not working.
The frustrating thing is that the hardware itself is really good. Proper DDNS client, good UI, all the things most people would want, which makes something like this seem really glaring in comparison.
I'm experiencing the same issue but with Port Fordwarding not working despite making the configuration. I want to get my money's worth out of PureFibre 2.5 and Plex but any and every suggestion and instruction don't seem to work from the OS level for my Laptop to the Modem level with the NH20A. I did call Telus asking if they've done something on their end to restrict Port Forwarding to which he said yes but posting on reddit and seeing people reply saying they can Port Forward is frustrating.
