Port Forwarding on Telus WiFi Hub
Howdy, I just got a response from Telus Tech support regarding Port Forwarding: From chats with network team and colleagues there is nothing from Telus’s end blocking the ports you are lookin...
Ive configured port forwarding on the many iterations of cable modems from Shaw... this is pretty much same thing... and yes, I did find the 'Port Forwarding' settings 😉
... unless its not the same thing... and there is something 'special' that needs to be set... or its being blocked in the firmware of the Telus WiFi Hub... or the ports are blocked because its a residential plan 🤔
Whatever the case is... its not working for me using any permutation of the settings given through the UI of the Hub.
My last recourse is to just remove the WiFi Hub from my setup and just run the ethernet cable from the model directly into my router.
I heard it was different with fibre, but with DSL (at least, my DSL connection), Telus does some weird thing with my IP(s).
The Actiontec gateway has a WAN IP of 100.xxx.xxx.xxx, but if Igo to WhatsMyIP, it is reported as 209.xxx.xxx.xxx.
I have my own router connected via Bridge Mode, and it is the same: 100.xxx.xxx.xxx, but reported as 209.xxx.xxx.xxx.
I guess a workaround is if you get some Dynamic DNS service to point to your WAN IP, but it won't work for some things.
