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.

I have the Arcadyan NH20A and I even called Telus today to see if I can switch to a Business plan since that will get me remote access and a static IP address. So, you would recommend factory resetting my NAH? That could do the trick? I'm at my wits end with this issue.
I would give it a try.
Full reset, then put in one of your PF rules immediately and see if it works. Don't change anything else.
If it doesn't, reset it again before going to bed (TELUS pushes their device FW updates overnight, try it in the morning and hit it again.
I'll give it a shot this weekend and keep you posted.
